Tunnel Turmoil: Brooklyn Synagogue Clash Sparks Chaos as Jewish Youths Resist Closure

Chaos erupted at the Chabad Lubavitch global headquarters in Brooklyn as construction workers sought to fill an illegally-dug tunnel used by young Orthodox Jewish men. In December, the rabbi discovered the tunnels, connecting to another property, sparking a property dispute. Young men, protesting the tunnel’s closure, threw themselves in the way, requiring NYPD intervention. Twelve arrests were made. The motive for the illegal access, linked to a ritual bath, remains unclear. Videos of the incident were shared on social media, capturing the tumultuous event. #newyork #brooklyn #synagogue #latestnews #international Subscribe to The Times of India’s YouTube channel: For daily news & updates and exclusive stories, follow the Times of India Facebook: Instagram: Download the app: Follow the TOI WhatsApp channel: Follow TOI for well-researched and in-depth news and analysis Facebook: Twitter: Instagram:
