==== Victory Over the Frankists ==== On 26 Tammuz 5519, the Baal Shem Tov defeated the Frankists in the city of Lvov. Letters found in the Kherson Genizah reveal that the Baal Shem Tov and his students declared this day as a holiday. In a letter dated 8 Kislev 5720, the Rebbe responds to someone who asked why this day is not celebrated every year, explaining that he hadn't heard an explanation for this, but what seems likely is that by the following year the Baal Shem Tov had already passed away (in 5520).
