9 arrested after secret tunnel found at Chabad headquarters in Brooklyn
ABC 7, NY ^

CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn (WABC) -- Police say nine worshippers were arrested amid a dispute over a tunnel secretly dug into the side of a historic Brooklyn synagogue, setting off a brawl between police and those who tried to defend the makeshift passageway.

Authorities responded to the Chabad-Lubavitch World Headquarters at 770 Eastern Parkway in Crown Heights on Monday afternoon.

Motti Seligson, a spokesperson for Chabad, said a "group of extremist students" had secretly broken through the walls of a vacant building behind the headquarters, creating an underground passage beneath a row of office buildings and lecture halls that eventually connected to the synagogue.

The tunnel had been previously discovered. It is believed the vandals went rogue and tried to expand the synagogue.

When a cement truck was brought in to fill the tunnel, the men are accused of standing in the tunnel and refusing to leave and causing mayhem.

Video shot by witnesses showed police confronting young men standing within a hollowed out space inside a brick wall. After officers removed one of the men from the dusty crevasse, a group of onlookers can be seen shoving officers, tossing wooden desks and scattering prayer books. One officer appeared to deploy an irritating spray at the jeering group.

This might be fake. Is this reported anywhere else?

how credible is “TopLobsta”?

this story is really odd. Why should the police wish to assist in filling in a tunnels if that they are a crime site?

One side is old men with cement trucks and police.

Other side is young rioting men.

All of above seem suspicious as heck!

half way through that video I see what could be a baby carrier.

Maybe this happened. After the Epstein documents started coming out, some pedos started to panic so they call in the cement truck to fill in their pedo tunnels.

I’m not sure why the young guys are protesting it. Maybe they’re the good guys.

The only proper solution is: send more buses.

Definitely! I hope this isn’t one of those stories we never hear a follow up from again, but I fear that may be the case.

The young guys are mostly Israelis, and ‘Moshichisten’; believers that the late Lubavitcher Rebbe will rise from the dead and become King Messsiah. Some of them have made themselves mentally ill over such beliefs.

The mainstream traditional Lubavitch leadership has let the young crazies act as if they own the place, which they certainly do not. Leaders were too indulgent and it’s caught up with them.

The location of these tunnels is the world headquarters

https://forward.com/news/359482/kushner-foundation-gives-342k-to-chabad-still-surprised-about-jared-and-iva/

It might seem odd for a Modern Orthodox Jewish family to join a Chabad synagogue. But Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner are already quite invested in the ultra-Orthodox outreach movement – or to be more precise, their parents are.

A Haaretz examination has revealed that Charles and Seryl Kushner have been major benefactors of Chabad over the years. Between 2003 and 2013, their family foundation donated a total of $342,500 to various institutions and projects associated with the movement, their tax records show.

Chabad has benefited not only from Kushner’s side of the family. It turns out that President-elect Donald Trump has also contributed to the movement – even before his daughter, who converted to Judaism, was married. Altogether, the Donald J. Trump Foundation has donated $11,550 to three Chabad institutions.
