"Controversy Surrounds Illegal Tunnel Under Brooklyn Synagogue"
TL;DR Summary
An illegal tunnel discovered beneath the Chabad-Lubavitch synagogue in Brooklyn has compromised the stability of nearby buildings, leading to an order to vacate. The 60ft long and 8ft wide tunnel, excavated without permits, has resulted in the arrest of nine individuals and citations for the synagogue owners. The reason for the tunnel's creation remains unknown, with some speculating it was part of a leader's expansion plan. The Chabad-Lubavitch headquarters, once home to a revered Orthodox Jewish leader, remains closed as city officials monitor emergency stabilization efforts.
