Weeksville, Brooklyn. Brooklyn is home to many monumental neighborhoods, but few come close to the history and culturally rich Weeksville. Originating in the mid-1800s sat a small African American village named Weeksville, formed during the post-abolition era. At that time, Weeksville and the surrounding Brooklyn area had one of the country’s densest rates of enslaved people. Brooklyn continued to develop, resulting in Weeksville’s absorption of the Bed-Stuy and Crown Heights neighborhoods. Despite the merger, echoes of Weeksville’s past still exist. Weeksville earned its name from a freed African American dock worker named James Weeks, who purchased a plot of land in the community following abolition in the state. As word spread that African Americans like Weeks were making a living in New York, more would head to the area for the same opportunity as long-standing families continued to sell off their land in the Brooklyn area. In the 1850s, the population boomed to over 500 residents, nearly half of the residents were originally born in the South. All with different stories and backgrounds, the occupations of these settlers included educators, health care professionals, and entrepreneurs. As time went on, the Weeks village would go on to operate a “colored” school, cemetery, senior home, and multiple churches. Not to mention, the village was amongst the highest rates for ownership of property and business among an African American settlement. Weeksville quickly became a safe haven for African Americans throughout New York. The community has changed over the years, but the history of Weeksville remains one of the most influential neighborhoods in New York State, particularly for African Americans.

Full Story of NYC Synagogue Tunnels Revealed

In the heart of Crown Heights, a historic synagogue became the epicenter of a tumultuous saga. The Chabad-Lubavitch movement's global headquarters in NYC faced upheaval due to the discovery of secret underground tunnels.

The Tunnels' Origin

 Unbeknownst to many, a group of young men clandestinely constructed a tunnel under the synagogue. Motti Seligson, a Chabad spokesperson, condemned this act as  "extremists breaking through the wall to the synagogue."

Community Divide

Supporters argued it was part of an "expansion" envisioned by Rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneerson. Zalmy Grossman, a resident, stated:  "That's what the rabbi wants, that's what everybody wants."

The Clash Unfolds

As attempts were made to seal the tunnel, chaos erupted. A protest turned violent, leading to clashes between worshippers and police. Baruch Dahan, witness to the chaos, recounts: "Almost everyone was against what they did, but as soon as people saw the handcuffs, there was confusion and pushing." View this post on Instagram A post shared by CrownHeights.info (@chinfo.official)

Tunnel Purpose

 The purpose of the tunnel remained debated. Motti Seligson stated it was vandalism, while supporters insisted it aimed at relieving overcrowding in the basement synagogue.

Legal Battle and Ownership Dispute

The synagogue, 770 Eastern Parkway, has been at the center of a legal dispute between Chabad and Messianic Chasidim, believers in Rebbe's continued physical existence. Yehuda Krinsky, Chabad Chairman, expressed concern:  "These odious actions will be investigated, and the sanctity of the synagogue will be restored." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFtcLr9uojU

Cement Truck Controversy

The conflict intensified when a cement truck arrived to seal the tunnel. Protesters dismantled parts of the synagogue, leading to clashes with the police. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=So4yWdHFAMA

Aftermath and Investigation

 As the dust settled, 770 remained closed off. Investigations are underway to determine potential structural damage caused by the unauthorized tunnel.

Community Sentiments

 Baruch Dahan expressed the community's sorrow:  "The community feels terrible. It's a disgrace, instead of expanding, they destroyed." Conclusion: The full story of the NYC synagogue tunnels unfolds a narrative of secrecy, division, and clashes, leaving an iconic religious site marred by controversy and legal battles.
