Illegal tunnels found in a New York Synagogue

This is pretty fricking weird

The tunnels were dug (illegally) about 6 months ago, in an attempt to expand the iconic Synagogue.

Shock and horror in Crown Heights after a tunnel was found burrowed underground in the most unlikely of places, under 770 Eastern Parkway in Crown Heights.

No, we really aren’t joking. Not an Israeli replica of 770 in Eretz Yisroel. 770 Eastern Parkway, the Headquarters of Lubavitch in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, United States.

The accidental discovery happened nearly three weeks ago after a series of incidents rang alarm bells with the Gabboim of 770.

A Union Street homeowner who spoke with CrownHeights.info said that they had been hearing suspicious noises at night in their home for a period of time. As the noise continued, the concerned homeowner notified someone of the sounds and their suspicion.

Around the same time, construction work was underway placing new plumbing near 770. As the work neared completion, a trench was dug to lay a waterline and the surprised workers were shocked to find what appeared to be a tunnel underground, according to a source familiar with the incident.

Putting the pieces together, one of the workers in 770 investigated and got the shock of his life when he discovered the tunnel, burrowed from the Mikvah on the corner of Union Street and Kingston Ave. The tunnel allegedly extended from the Mikvah under the Kingston Ave women’s section of 770, where it exited into the building.

While details on the tunnel remain scarce, and with some rumors spreading, it appears that a group of bochurim began digging around six months ago in an attempt to “expand 770”.

Working at night for an extended period of time, the bochurim began digging from the Mikvah building and hollowed out a tunnel that sounds eerily similar to those used by Hamas in the Gaza Strip. The tunnel, while “amateurish” managed to extend all the way to 770 where it burrowed under the Kingston Ave women’s section, possibly destabilizing it.

Shocked and horrified at what was found, the 770 Gabboim made the decision to close off the now possibly unsafe women’s section to the public as decisions are made on how to secure the building.

is there a working theory on what this is about?

looked more like a hidden room than a tunnel. you think they were keeping hostages?

I just found and linked a story about the motive

They figured they could expand the Synagogue without telling anyone and causing issues to their neighbors

Still weird to dig and hide tunnels from the public

Yea, that's what hamas said

certain type of folks just love tunnels I suppose.

send them all over to Israel so they can defend their homeland and regentrify Crown Heights.

Doomsday schleppers
