1772 CE

Jacob Frank's imprisonment in Częstochowa has lasted thirteen years, yet it has only increased his influence with the sect by surrounding him with the aura of martyrdom.

Many Frankists have established themselves near Częstochowa, and kept up constant communication with their "holy master"

Frank has inspired his followers through mystical speeches and epistles, in which he states that salvation can be gained only through the "religion of Edom," or dat ("law"), a mixture of Christian and Sabbateanism

Frank is released, after the first partition of Poland, by the Russian general Aleksandr Bibikov, who had occupied Częstochowa in August 1772.
