Frankist Thought is a philosophical and religious movement that emerged in the 18th century, primarily associated with the teachings of Jacob Frank. It combines elements of Jewish mysticism, particularly Kabbalah, with radical ideas about redemption and the nature of God. Frankists believed in the necessity of breaking traditional religious boundaries to achieve spiritual enlightenment. Central to Frankist Thought is the concept of the "redeemer," where Frank positioned himself as a messianic figure. Followers embraced a controversial doctrine that included the idea of sin as a means to achieve spiritual elevation. This led to a unique interpretation of Judaism that diverged significantly from mainstream beliefs.
