    From my understanding, at the core it seems to be as simple as the tunnels were built to facilitate the illegal expansion of the synagogues space, with a whole bunch of strange internal hasidic sectarianism involved on top of that to make it sound more complex and much more bizarre than it probably actually is, those involved being hasidic of course makes it inherently wacky for much of the online world.

        yea there’s a large community of chabadniks in crown heights. that’s what all the stickers declaring MOSHIACH IS COMING are about. They specifically think that Menachem Mendel Schneerson was and is the messiah, and will reveal himself soon to usher in a new era of peace, wisdom, and piety.

          yeah, i think this ties in and a lot of people initially misinterpreted it, because on the day it was revealed a lot of posts were about how they used the tunnels to evade covid rules and enter the synagogue secretly to congregate
