POPULARITY
Hello Oddities! This week I have a shorter show, but I still believe you will enjoy it. This is an episode I did for Patrons quite a while back on the infamous failed Jewish Messiah Shabbatai Zvi. Reading from a book on Jewish Mysticism, I give the run down one of the most interesting characters in history. I'm working on several other episodes in the Those We Don't Speak Of series, and Zvi will have a big part in at least one of those episodes, and I thought this would help to understand the man, and just how influential he was on his followers, and Jacob Frank, and his Frankist cult. I belive in some ways, those two were the Crowley's of their times. Thank you for your patience, and I look forward to giving you a much more in-depth dive very soon. Cheers, and Blessings
Jay Michaelson, a political columnist, author, and teacher in Judaism Unbound's UnYeshiva (!), joins Dan Libenson and Lex Rofeberg to discuss his most recent book, The Heresy of Jacob Frank: From Jewish Messianism to Esoteric Myth. In their conversation, Michaelson dives into the wild world that was Jacob Frank's life, connects Frank's 18th century ideas to the present-day, and professes his love for Netflix's The Sandman.
