=== Victory | === Victory over the Frankists === | ||
On the 26th of Tammuz 1759 (5519), the Baal Shem Tov achieved victory over the ''Frankists'' in the city of Lviv. In letters discovered in the ''Kherson genizah'' it was found that the Besht and his students declared this day a festival. In a letter from the 8th of Kislev 1760 (5520), the Lubavitcher Rebbe replied to an individual who asked why this day is not celebrated every year, saying he had not heard an elucidation on the subject, but he thinks it is because by the following year, the Baal Shem Tov had already passed away (in 1760). | On the 26th of Tammuz 1759 (5519), the Baal Shem Tov achieved victory over the ''Frankists'' in the city of Lviv.
