Never been so excited in my life - what a thrill!

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

but how is this expanding it? If I wanted to expand my house, I'd add on new rooms above ground not dig tunnels underneath my house to the neighboring house.

probably by making the surrounding buildings collapse and then picking up the land "cheap".

---

If buildings started collapsing in NYC all hell would break look and trigger massive investigations into the cause. That land wouldn't be picked up on the cheap either, the price would soar for anyone wanting to get their hands on it.

so again, how is this expanding the synagogue?

I didn't say it was a well thought out plan. Supposedly the diggers were mostly from Israel.

This article explains a little more of what was going on. forward.com

but if you listen to some of the idiots that post here, the JEWWWWS are the most powerful money hungry people on the planet, and yet somehow they can't afford to purchase some real-estate or pay for synagogue expansion. They gotta dig tunnels under the street


I'm not discounting that someone was up to something but to say they were just trying to expand the synagogue as if they were adding on a bonus room is absurd. I'm much more apt to believe they were digging some sort of escape tunnel in the event some jackass decided to shoot up another synagogue

You can read one of the articles and see what they were actually doing. It has nothing to do with anything you posted.

Where's the polital talk?

Reform Jews have the money, Orthodox Jews not as much
