Sotuanduso,

Wow, I really thought it was a “check your carbon monoxide” kind of thing before reading the comments.

I am not crazy! I know they dug those tunnels! I knew it was in the basement. One after ground level. As if I could ever make such a mistake. Never. Never! I just – I just couldn’t prove it. They - they covered the entrance, they got that idiot at the synagogue to lie for them. You think this is something? You think this is bad? This? This putzery?

riodoro1,

Holy shit, imagine being gaslighted by tunnel digging jews.

This isn’t a meme but apparently it is real and Hassidic Jews were digging tunnels in NYC to get to synagogues safely. I have no direct sources right now but it happened, apparently.

CyberEgg,

Honestly, why claim it happened whenyou can’t provide reliable sources?

474D,

Because it’s extremely easy to look up, it’s a very popular story right now.

ExLisper,

Where did you get the ‘to get there safely’ part? The story I saw said that the reason was unknown. I understood that it was some kids that decided to annex some other buildings and broke through the walls of the synagogue against the wishes of the elders. Insane story overall.

Hassidic Jews were digging tunnels in NYC to get to synagogues safely

Jesus wept, are they funny in the head, or is the USA really so dangerous now that people are digging tunnels to go places rather than walk on normal public streets and take the bus?

Surely they’re just barmy? The USA has problems but it’s not at the level of “Honey I’m going to the shops, better dig a tunnel, don’t want the Mad Max gangs to catch me, you know how dangerous it is to go out on land before sunset!”.

… Right?!

DaCookeyMonsta,

It’s not that dangerous, I only get stabbed once, maybe twice, when I get groceries, and usually they don’t even nick an organ.

Yes, they’re deranged ultra-conservative pearl clutchers.

Is it really for “get to synagogues safely” tho? I mean there are better ways for it :D For example, according to statistics, the safest method of travel is airplanes 🤦‍♂️

rwhitisissle,

Airplanes and New York. Now that’s a combination that screams “nothing bad could happen.”

So… It was a joke. I didn’t really meant they should use airplanes to go max 1 mile distance 😅

BossDj,

The article says a rogue group within the synagogue claimed to have made the tunnel to illegally access an empty building next door, as the synagogue had become overcrowded and they needed the space.

The exact purpose and provenance of the tunnel that incited the altercation remained the subject of some debate.

I guess still not known, but thanks for the link.
