Chabad-Lubavitch, headquartered at 770 Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn, is one of the most well-known groups seeking to educate secular Jews about orthodox Judaism and Jewish identity. According to [Chabad.org](https://www.chabad.org/), approximately 4,500 Chabad-affiliated synagogues exist worldwide.
A chaotic scene unfolded Monday when officers were called to assist construction crews in their efforts to fill a tunnel that was apparently dug by yeshiva students at 770 Eastern Parkway, in order to protect the foundation of the building. Several people can be seen ripping down wooden panels covering the entrances before a number of Chabad students went into the tunnels to prevent crews from filling them with concrete.
NYPD officers arrived on the scene and detained several men and women.

According to the scholar Dara Horn, Jews are not a religion or a race, but a "joinable tribe" whose existence predates the concepts of religion and race. Orthodox Jews have certain opinions regarding daily acceptance of Jewish law as it appears in the Torah, also known as the Hebrew Bible, which is the basis of the translation that appears in the English-language Bible. Chabad-Lubavitch is a 249-year-old movement in orthodox Judaism, named after Lyubavichi, a village in Russia. As most Jews are not orthodox, Chabad specializes in "Kiruv," reaching out to secular and non-observant Jews via the web and "Chabad houses," synagogues in major cities around the world. Their headquarters hosts a yeshiva, or educational institution, for Jewish men, the site of the videos.
