New York court orders passport of nine youths be confiscated while four others currently in Israel; Chabad distances itself from case
A New York court indicted 13 Israelis aged 18 to 21 on Thursday following their involvement in the digging of an authorized tunnel beneath the Lubavitcher Rebbe's synagogue in Brooklyn, known as 770 Eastern Parkway, back in January.
The court ordered the passports of nine of the accused to be confiscated. According to reports in U.S. media, four additional suspects are currently in Israel. According to court documents, the youths arrived in New York to study in a yeshiva. The youths denied the allegations against them. However, Justice Adam Perlmutter, who oversaw the case, refused to ban them from the synagogue, since they’re currently studying there.
A Chabad spokesperson appeared in court, saying, "Violence and destruction are anathema to everything the Rebbe taught. We pray that they see the error of their ways.”
In January, it was reported that a group of extremist Jewish youths, who don’t represent any Hasidic movement, broke into the Brooklyn synagogue, causing an uproar.
Here is some of the damning child rape and murder evidence they found.
