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.
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 🤦♂️
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.
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.

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 😅

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