A chaotic scene unfolded at a historic Brooklyn synagogue as rogue members armed with shovels dug a secret tunnel to push for the expansion of the sanctuary, leading to arrests.
A handful of disobedient members of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement, an Orthodox Jewish Hasidic dynasty, started digging the tunnel under its world headquarters, 770 Eastern Parkway, in Crown Heights, New York City, USA, during the pandemic.
Their questionable and unprofessional construction work came as a result of higher-ups dragging their feet on expanding the synagogue’s sanctuary, sources told The New York Post.
