Currently, numerous law enforcementare at the scene of a riot at the Chabad headquarters in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, where individuals tore wooden panels to prevent a cement truck from sealing off the recently discovered tunnels. Police intervened by ripping wooden panels to thwart the cement truck's actions. The underground tunnels, secretly built by a group, including members of the Jewish community, about 6 months ago in an attempt to expand the iconic synagogue, were the focal point. Despite police intervention, numerous people refused to vacate the tunnels, leading to the arrest of at least ten individuals after a scuffle with the NYPD inside 770.

From Motti Seligson Director of Media at @Chabad / http://Chabad.org. Tweets are my own.
Some time ago, a group of extremist students, broke through a few walls in adjacent properties to the synagogue at 784-788 Eastern Parkway, to provide them unauthorized access. Earlier today, a cement truck was brought in to repair those walls. Those efforts were disrupted by the extremists who broke through the wall to the synagogue, vandalizing the sanctuary, in an effort to preserve their unauthorized access.
They have since been arrested and the building closed pending a structural safety review.
Lubavitch officials have attempted to gain proper control of the premises through the New York State court system; unfortunately, despite consistently prevailing in court, the process has dragged on for years.
This is, obviously, deeply distressing to the Lubavitch movement, and the Jewish community worldwide. We hope and pray to be able to expeditiously restore the sanctity and decorum of this holy place.

“Riotous Jews” would be a good name for a klezmer band.
Thanks! I represent that remark!
;-)
Thanks. No known motivation, according to the article. Very strange.
“Students?”
From which political persuasion?
From which religion?
From which country?
Chabad Yeshiva students from Israel according to “Forward”.
These are ultra-orthodox Hasidic Jews.

More crazy frum than political.
Chabad Yeshiva students? Why would they want to tunnel into a synagogue?
Sect conflicts?
Was Jerry Rivers there to film it?.
Tunnels were a response to the building closure due to covid hysteria. Now the tunnels are said to compromise the building’s structural integrity.

Concrete truck, not cement truck. Journos know less about construction than they do about weapons.
Who didn't love Forger, Scrounger, Cooler King, and the Tunnel King?
That’s far too claustrophobic for me...
They don’t seem to realize that if they dig tunnels badly, they can collapse and kill people, even without Hamas. I am a Chabad-nick, and this is just plain lunacy. What engineer is reviewing the plans, let alone the construction?
True. And then, they took it upon themselves to greatly damage the temple. All of it wrong, from start to finish.
I don’t see what the big deal is?? I’m pretty sure they’ve known about these tunnels for quite a while. In fact I think they were actually mentioned in a Dean Koontz book.
did anyone watch the video?? i know the answer is NO in true freeper tradition. but check it out.
I wonder why there haven’t been updates to this story.
