An unholy riot broke out in a historic Brooklyn synagogue when a group of rogue members armed with shovels dug a secret tunnel to gain access — and cops and hardhats tried to thwart them.
Young renegades from the Chabad-Lubavitch movement wielding “very elementary tools’’ began religiously digging the tunnel under the sect’s world headquarters in Crown Heights on the Eastern Parkway during the pandemic because higher-ups were dragging their feet on expanding the synagogue’s sanctuary, sources said.
