Original Note:
A group of Chabad members dug an unsanctioned tunnel to gain access to the original Chabad synagogue, a revered site within the movement. The NYPD intervened on Jan 9, 2024 after a confrontation arose when construction workers sent by Chabad leaders filled & closed it. https://apnews.com/article/synagogue-tunnel-fact-check-30dea243e1619716f8274ebc7f596f5c https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/jan/09/brooklyn-synagogue-secret-tunnel-dispute-arrests https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/09/nyregion/tunnel-synagogue-chabad-lubavitch.html https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/jan/16/crown-heights-tunnels-tzfat-chabad-lubavitch-synagogue-brooklyn https://hyperallergic.com/865903/the-famous-history-of-the-brooklyn-chabad-lubavitch-world-headquarters-synagogue-that-went-viral/
