"Rabbinical Students Defy NYPD Orders in Illegal Brooklyn Synagogue Tunnel: Court Docs"

Four rabbinical students were found hiding in a tunnel under a Brooklyn synagogue, refusing to leave despite NYPD orders. They were charged with obstruction and criminal mischief for damaging the synagogue wall. The students had dug the tunnel to expand the sanctuary, but faced resistance from synagogue authorities. A riot broke out when they tried to protect their underground hideaway from being filled in. Five students pleaded not guilty and were released without bail, while city building inspectors are investigating the complex for violations.
