Chabad-Lubavitch: This is the very ideology that Jesus Christ opposed when He ministered on the earth. It is a self-righteous theology and one that is antichrist in nature. However, just this past week, it was discovered that a tunnel system was discovered under Chabad-Lubavitch head quarters in New York City. The obvious question is, for what was it being used?
Keep in mind that Chabad was promoted by the likes of Donald Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, as well as Rabbi Schneerson, who promoted the Noahide laws.
Freedom Headlines reports:
Beneath the hallowed halls of the Chabad-Lubavitch World Headquarters in Brooklyn, a clandestine passage lay hidden for nearly a year. This secret tunnel, dug by a group of young Orthodox Jewish men with the apparent aim of reaching an abandoned mikvah (ritual bath) and expanding the synagogue, ignited a firestorm of anger and violence when it was unearthed.
On a Monday fraught with tension, the tunnel’s existence came to light, sparking outrage among a faction of young men. Fueled by a potent mix of religious fervor and defiance, they stormed the synagogue, tearing down wooden panels and support beams in a raw display of frustration. Videos captured the raw spectacle: scuffles with police, overturned pews, and the bitter irony of holy ground defaced in the name of devotion.
Rabbi Yosef Braun, the synagogue leader, stood aghast. His pronouncements were a mix of outrage and bewilderment. “Mind-boggling,” he declared, echoing the sentiment of many witnessing the desecration. The act, he asserted, transcended legal disputes and religious motivations, striking at the very core of their faith.
Meanwhile, Rabbi Motti Seligson, another Chabad-Lubavitch leader, acknowledged the legal battles surrounding the mikvah ownership. Yet, while expressing frustration at the protracted court proceedings, he vehemently condemned the violent outburst. Labelling the perpetrators “extremists,” he underscored the devastating impact their actions had on the wider community.
The fallout was swift and decisive. Police intervened, leading to the arrest of over a dozen individuals facing charges ranging from misdemeanors to obstructing government administration. The synagogue, deemed structurally compromised, was shuttered for safety assessments.
Beyond the immediate turmoil, the incident casts a long shadow over the Chabad-Lubavitch community, raising questions about internal divisions, respect for sacred spaces, and the potential for volatile consequences when fervent zeal collides with legal realities. As dust settles and introspection begins, the future of the synagogue and the disputed mikvah remain uncertain. One thing is clear: the scars of this unholy tunneling will not easily fade from the hallowed ground of Brooklyn’s religious landscape.
ABC adds:
CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn (WABC) — Police say nine worshippers were arrested amid a dispute over a tunnel secretly dug into the side of a historic Brooklyn synagogue, setting off a brawl between police and those who tried to defend the makeshift passageway.
Authorities responded to the Chabad-Lubavitch World Headquarters at 770 Eastern Parkway in Crown Heights on Monday afternoon.
Motti Seligson, a spokesperson for Chabad, said a “group of extremist students” had secretly broken through the walls of a vacant building behind the headquarters, creating an underground passage beneath a row of office buildings and lecture halls that eventually connected to the synagogue.
The tunnel had been previously discovered. It is believed the vandals went rogue and tried to expand the synagogue.
When a cement truck was brought in to fill the tunnel, the men are accused of standing in the tunnel and refusing to leave and causing mayhem.
Video shot by witnesses showed police confronting young men standing within a hollowed out space inside a brick wall. After officers removed one of the men from the dusty crevasse, a group of onlookers can be seen shoving officers, tossing wooden desks and scattering prayer books. One officer appeared to deploy an irritating spray at the jeering group.
It wasn’t immediately clear when the tunnel was constructed or what purpose it served.
The nine men, between 19 and 21 years old, were charged with criminal mischief and reckless endangerment. One was also charged with obstruction of governmental administration.
New York City Fire Department spokesperson Amanda Farinacci said the agency received an anonymous tip about the location last month. But when a fire prevention team responded on Dec. 20, the tunnel was not detected and they found all of the exits operable and up to code, Farinacci said.
Two violations were issued: failing to obtain a certificate of operation for the place of assembly and failing to provide access to inspect the sprinkler main shut off valve at the time of inspection.
The Lubavitch World Headquarters is temporarily closed pending a review of the structural integrity of the building.
