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.
