    Chabad-Lubavitch Jews are not your normal Jews. They are the most orthodox of orthodox Jews and they are fucking nuts, so digging a secret tunnel for no apparent reason and then refusing to leave the tunnel doesn’t really surprise me. Frighteningly, there are around 100,000 of these nuts worldwide.

    So when cops show up there’s a huge brawl and lots of people fighting cops to try and keep the tunnel open…

    Then the synagogue put out a statement claiming theyre the real victim and had no idea extremists were illegally digging tunnels…

    All why Israel flattens all of Gaza because they insist anyone living above the tunnel have to had notice a tunnel and that makes them complacent with the extremists?

    The only difference is in this case we have actual proof the tunnel exists.

    So . . Vandals, or, mischevious youth? . . . Dug a tunnel into the synagogue? And fought with police who were . . Filling it back in?

    I have no idea either what is happening or what I’m supposed to get from the story. It all sounds bizarre.

      It’s part of a weird culty religious schism.

      Basically, the mischievous youth think that their dead chief rabbi is coming back soon as the messiah and they have to prepare for his return by expanding his synagogue.

      It sounds bizarre because honestly it is pretty bizarre.

    That’s what happens when G-d exempts you from planning laws but neglects to tell anyone else.

      G-d? Is that some way to not write god? Does he not like that?

        Traditional Judaism believes that their real name of God is too holy to be used (except in prayer?), so they often blank out one or more letters.

    if any place should have a secret tunnel, why not a synagogue… and anyway it sounds like they just broke through some walls in adjoining abandoned buildings or something, not even a real tunnel…

      Weird how you fight the definitions of the words used but find no fault in the decisions of those making holes in buildings.
