Let's say we get a sect of flagellant Jews. They do it for the same reasons as Christians and in the same public way, but as jews and in a jewish context. You can have them arise anytime from Medieval to now. Assuming they become very widespread what is their effect on Jewish history and history in general

Okay, I've heard of self-loathing jews, but this is going a bit far....;)
