I'm sorry, wtf? While admittedly cool, wtf do you need a secret passageway through the basements of multiple buildings into your synagogue? And they completely gloss over what we on the other end of the secret passage - was it hidden behind a dumpster, a fake wall inside a speakeasy, someone's basement?
The lubbavitcher rebbe said a couple years before he died that he wanted his synagogue expanded.
There's been a bit of a power vacuum since he died, and expanding the building hasn't been possible due to court cases over the building's ownership.
A bunch of the students think that the rebbe is coming back as the messiah, were bored and decided that they could start the expansion by tunneling into the basement from a couple buildings over.
