> did anything actually come of this? this was one of the most interesting things i have ever seen on /pol/. officially it's an internecine religious conflict. apparently rabbi schneerson (the one that chabad-ludavitch believes is the messiah) wanted to expand the synagogue somewhat to accommodate more congregants. some of the jews in the synagogue wanted to do this, other jews did not want to do this. also there was a bureaucratic issue with permits etc. so, a group of young (teens and 20 something) jews decided they can't take it anymore, and they're going to expand the synagogue even if they don't have approval of chabad leadership or the city, because they say it's been too long and it's too crowded. some of them have said being banned from the synagogue would be worse than jail
