From what I understand, it’s part of triggering the return of the messiah, the late head rabbi of that synagogue. He apparently said something about expanding the building before he died, but there’s been no movement on it for assorted reasons like the court cases over the building’s ownership.
So the idea was apparently that finishing the expansion would be the easier option once they already tunneled it out.
So what was the goal of this?
Were they breaking into or out of the synagogue? This is like the lamest bank heist or all time.
