It took months, perhaps years for a small crew of Lubavitchers to dig a secret passageway underneath the famed headquarters of the Chabad movement. They would not let it be filled so easily.

The New York Police Department was called Monday to 770 Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn’s Crown Heights neighborhood, where a number of Chabad students — most in their teens and early twenties — mounted a last stand against construction crews called to fill in the tunnel connecting the synagogue at that location to the defunct Chabad mikvah around the corner.

In videos circulating on Chabad community news sources and social media, Lubavitchers can be seen ripping down the wood paneling on the south wall of the synagogue, revealing a cavernous concrete space about 20 feet wide underneath the women’s section. Several young men were sitting or standing in the space — apparently to prevent it from being filled — as scores of others watched or recorded video on their phones. The length of the tunnel is unclear from the videos.

NYPD eventually made 10 arrests, according to community news outlet CrownHeights.info. Video showed several men in Lubavitcher garb being led out, their wrists bound with zip ties.

Locked in litigation​

The chaos at 770 — the former home of the late Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson — was the culmination of a controversy that began when the tunnel was discovered in early December, and the latest chapter in a multi-year battle between the Chabad-Lubavitch movement and synagogue leadership for control of the iconic building.

Chabad-Lubavitcher movement spokesperson Rabbi Motti Seligson declined to comment.

It was unclear what motivated the creation of the tunnel and why some students reacted so strongly to the arrival of a cement truck Monday morning to fill it. Reports said the people behind the tunnel’s excavation — it was unconfirmed who that was, but sources tended to agree they began within the last year or two — had hoped to “expand” 770, but it was not obvious how the tunnel accomplished that.

A video posted on the CrownHeights.info Instagram in December showed a dark, dirt-walled crawl space allegedly beginning in the recesses of the former Chabad Women’s Mikvah, located at 1506 Union Street. Large dirt mounds obstruct much of the basement.

After the tunnel’s discovery, the leadership of Beis Chayeinu — the Chabad synagogue that meets in 770 — hired structural engineers to determine the extent of the damage and the safety issue it posed, and eventually moved to fill it.


According to Haredi news source Collive.com, the students who tried to stop the filling of the tunnel were mostly from Israel and associated with Chabad Messianism — whose adherents believe that Schneerson, the sixth Lubavitcher Rebbe, was the Messiah. The Chabad-Lubavitch movement publicly disavows those beliefs.

But the movement, despite years of litigation, does not control 770 Eastern Parkway, though it owns the title. It has been locked in litigation with Beis Chayeinu over control of the building for decades.

This is literally in the first paragraph of the Rebbe's Wikipedia article;

Find me a more mainstream Jewish movement, than Chabad Lubavitch and your personal Rabbi that interprets it different doesn't count.

Most Jews are not ultra Orthodox. Most Jews are either form or conservative or modern orthodox. These black hat wearing types are ultra orthodox. It's a sect difference. It's hard to understand unless you know the inner workings of Judaism. It's similar to how Mormons have very different sects.

The chabad Rabbi, it's whole thing was to bring non-religious Jews into their more religious spiritual version of Judaism basically to do what the Catholics are doing right now which is to bring people back to the church by making it appeal to more people. These people have an idea that if the Jews become more orthodox like them than eventually the Messiah come. Add a healthy dose of spiritualism and things get very nutty very fast. It doesn't help that the rabbi died in the '90s and there is a belief amongst ultra orthodox Jews that the Messiah will come once a generation and if he doesn't do what he has to do, then world is not ready or something that I don't really understand but the point is is that it's what catch the rainbow was saying it gets nutty fast because there's no one tard wrangling. That's all I'm saying if you want to get spergy and start looking about Jews in your walls and shit that's up to you man. But I'm just here to tell you some facts.


 
So Esau is essentially modern day globohomo? Why shouldn't it be destroyed, then? Those Chabad boys sound alright if that's who they're up against.
The chabad boys are super right wing and super against homosexuality. They just wear funny hats. They love Trump. They vote Republican all the time. It's really really funny because they piss off the Democrat Jews which are most Jews in the United States, although that might be changing because of the war in israel

You skipped the part that explains it.

Under whom have the Jews suffered in Europe according to them, the Romans, followed by the Christians.

I'll let the Rabbis explain it.
Most influential? Possibly just through sheer motivated effort. The largest though? No way. They are as prominent as they are because of their fervor but they number in the hundreds of thousands.
 
Who is Edom today? Our sages tell us, that the nations of the world are all mixed up. However, it is a culture and an attitude that are clearly discernible. Over the years, we have suffered by the hands of Edom, in many European countries.
Still sounds just like globohomo, trying to mix all the nations of the world into one big brown mass of godless mud golems. Globohomo culture and attitude are very much clearly discernible, just like in the description. If you see it, you recognize it.

I'm going to repost my post from the race superiority thread, tell me if that sounds familiar.
That reminded me of the story of the Tower of Babel. You did understand what it was about, right? Why God made everyone speak different languages?

As in, just like a disease can run through a homogenous population of animals with no immunity to it, so can bad (or evil) ideas can run rampant through a homogenous population. Having various separate languages, cultures, and ideologies is a defense from that. What you call race superiority is just one of the natural mechanisms that populations use to defend themselves from mixing.

Mixing everyone up into a big pile of brown homogenous mud golems with the same ideology and culture means the first bad idea will destroy humanity and there won't be any pockets of untouched humans left to rebuild. That's why people are naturally (or by design) xenophobic and have to put effort into defeating those natural instincts.

Now why is it that some people see a description like that (lying godless pigs who want to have one world race, one world culture, and want to rule over it) and go "this is literally me, I'm being genocided"?
 
Most Jews are not ultra Orthodox.
Yes and most Christians are Christians on paper only and many don't even go to Sunday service, those people don't represent what Christianity stands for.
They follow the mainstream interpretation of Judaism because they are the largest group of Judaism.
Still sounds just like globohomo
give it a listen. The Rabbis all tell you Edom became Rome which transformed into Christendom, therefore any nation that has that religion can be considered Edom. Some even straight out say Edom is America and Europe.
And Edom needs to be completely destroyed.

In Judaism it's also believed that those mixed will incur the wrath of Hashem and get annihilated.

Here is the Rebbe urging the NY Major to increase the melting pot.
Actually genocidal when you realize what the Rebbe believes.

Most influential?
Most influential Jew in general, he is by far the most influential for modern Judaism in a religious sense.

The largest though? No way. They are as prominent as they are because of their fervor but they number in the hundreds of thousands.
Wrong, they are by far the largest Jewish religious movement.
As of 10 Jan 2024, Chabad-Lubavitch is the largest and fastest-growing Jewish organization with 4,900 emissary families operating 3,500 institutions in 100 countries and territories, with activities in many more. The Chabad on Campus International network is comprised of the largest group of campus rabbis and trained Jewish educators serving college students in the world. The Sinai Scholars Society, a joint initiative of the Chabad on Campus International and The Rohr Jewish Learning Institute, has seen 24,560 students complete the program since its inception. Chabad claims that with 1,000 centers, it has the largest network of synagogues of any Jewish movement in North America. In Canada, 51 towns and cities have a Chabad presence, including campus outreach centres, and there are 39 centres in Quebec alone, seven of which opened in the last five years.1 According to headquarters, almost one million children participated in Chabad activities worldwide in 1999.

Uh hello based department? Although I see why some Americans are concerned about this part.

By that logic you can say that Catholics want world domination because I can find like a thousand idiot priests spouting the same dumb rhetoric. And about a million imams who actually do want world domination, lol.

If the common conception is that Esau is lying, godless globohomo (and I guess Islam would be Amalek), then destroying both of them would be a net good to humanity.

As for the Rebbe telling the mayor of NYC "niggers and jews should live in peace with the spics and wops" in front of a bunch of drooling journalists, well, that's just typical PR that any religious leader would spout when faced with cameras. Don't think anyone expected him to go "fuck niggers, lol."

No, it's not. Tall Man is right, they mean Christendom. Samael is supposedly the patron angel of Christianity, for example. Are you deliberately being obtuse? I expected better of you.

At most I could see Esau being Rome, seeing as later day Rome would qualify as the globohomo of its day. Between their degenerate sexual habits, their conquests wiping out cultures by mixing them into a general "Roman" culture, and their polytheism, that makes sense to me.

As for Christendom, it doesn't entirely make sense seeing as Christians share a lot of the same values. Unless you're talking about those LGBT churches which would qualify.

No Islam is Ishmael, it's considered the Broom that will clean up Edom.
This is why so many Jewish organizations help facilitate the mass immigration of Muslims into the West, Jews are fulfilling prophecy.

So who is Amalek then? China?
 
I could accept it being a tunnel into their 'Holy of holies'...
Except for the additional exit points.
Such as that amazing sewer grate video shows.

Why do you need additional bug out points for a simple tunnel to the MegaJews basement?

Bug out points are specifically in case a party is crashed, and everyone needs to flee like cockroaches.

Amalek is similar to the concept of Esau.
The First Nation that wronged the Jews and will be destroyed for it.
That would be Egypt, but they also sometimes say that this Egyptian bloodline can be found all over the world.
Sometimes it's used as synonym for "Enemy of the Jews".
But it also represents those that know of Yahweh and intentionally rebel.
This would mean Christians are Amalek. They know of Yahweh but they don't observe Torah law and worship the idol Jesus according to Judaism.

Rome and Christianity are synonymous to them, the formulation I described has been going on for a very long time.
But seeing as Christianity originated from Judaism (early Christians were the Messianic Jews of their time but with a Christ instead of a Schneerson) and essentially destroyed Rome, didn't that fulfil the prophecy already?

Straight up this is starting to sound like pilpul.
 
Whenever you read about Jewish insane beliefs remember that's the reason Jesus was killed. He came to tell them to stop being so autistic, to make things simple, and to stop using faith for profit. Because, the more complicated you make your religion, the more your followers will need your guidance to obtain salvation. Jesus came and said: "don't worship other Gods, respect Holy Days, love your parents, don't be an asshole to others, don't be a degenerate, that's it, that's the trick" and they went insane... how dare He?!

Think of them as the Jewish version of Jesuits
You said Jewish twice.

You're making a distinction they do not make. Rome = Catholic Church = Christianity.

Yes, it is pilpul.
That is how interpretations in Judaism work.

Most of the time America and Europe are called Edom and the descendants of Esau.
I saw Amalek thrown around when talking about Palestinians in the recent Gaza conflict.
Amalek seems to be a broader term, that can be used for any enemy.
 
People here get pissy with her because she is an insane broken record and a hypocrite on the subject. If the kid is a faggot or tranny instead of a Christian all of a sudden she has endless excuses for the abusers.

Here is the problem with that: Normally people don't look at jews as a whole and think of Nazi propaganda. Our expectation is that other jews would be horrified just as much as anyone else. But when all the jews circle the wagons, hem and haw and gaslight everyone to defend the bad actors, then people start to get suspicious.
It's like the "not all muslims are extremists" argument.

Are all muslims extremists? No. Will moderates endlessly defend those extremists? Yes.

In practice all that means is a moderate holds you down until an extremist gets there.
