I don’t comment on the current evens. But what’s the heck.
These are no “tunnels”, this structural void that was left there deliberately under the elevatedezras noshim. You can see the inadequate columns and beams. It was a danger beforemeshichistsgot there.On the second thought, these look like new beams and columns. With Hamas, they dig using a concrete structure that gets pushed further along as they excavate. Impossible to excavate without it, unless there is already a void. I guess there was already a void underEzras Noshimthat got expanded.Filing this space with concrete is a ridiculous, stupid idea because it can’t reach all the crevices and therefore doesn’t solve the problem with the unstable structure.Bocherimdid a service to the community by preventing a concrete fill. Definitely.The giant lump of concrete presents a problem if they ever want to build there. It will require blasting and knocking that will keep the neighborhood up for weeks. That’s if they would like to build there at all. Big if at this point.The only reason the issue of the ownership of the 770 has been neglected is that Lubavitchers do not want to face the fact that ALL Lubavitchers are messianic in various degrees.
All Lubavitchers actively promote a neo-Christian cult of the personalty of the Rebbe. It’s their business. It readily blends with the local native culture of their hosts.
In a general, Chabad under Krinsky cares more about Dubai than 770 or Crown Heights. This is obvious. Decades of deliberate neglect. And who the f. cares that now you make a “statement”. Just another issue with the Rebbe-less movement.
I love the ingenuity of finding or expanding of the tunnels. Bochrim are to be commended, as the regular yeshiva doesn’t develop or occupy their talents. Especially that Godforsaken Zal.
You can see that in the final stand they took down the load bearing wall. I would not go to 770, even upstairs, until it is fixed. Why fix it? Take down the whole thing NOW.
770 should be demolished because presently it is no longer a synagogue but a church.
Update: Imitatio Dei in 770
Mr Gruzim,
The Alter Rebbe raised money for Maamad and Eretz Yisroel,today everyone in Chabad is fund raising for himself as everyone is a shliach !
Mosfos are proprietary ie for profit as the Yeshiva hs in New Haven, I a poor Jew get dozens of CH return address envelopes weekly and more from Chabad with address in NYC. THEN there is massive fund raising from Chabad in Russia with all manners of front groups
As alleged non profits may we know what some of these guys are making?.What is Krinskys salary?
How much does the chief rabbi of Russia make ?
Give me a break all Chabad today is essentially PR and fund tàising and now private people using Chabad brand to make money.
770 was originally a high class abortion clinic.Just a fact
Next 770 has been weaponized for a long time like destroying Rabbi Gourary apt to expand the library as if there was no other space in CH.But like our Woke friends the Chabad people tried to wipe out any memory of Rabbi Gourary,no mosfos named for him,no kids named after him,no official biography and no place where he resided.BH Halacha forbids statues otherwise it would too have been destroyed.
Chabad needs to get back to basics learning,davening,contemplation and spiritual leadership.
Leave fund raising and PR to the front office.
