Among ethnic Jewish people, some are religious, some are not. Among religious Jewish people, some are "other", some are Reform, some are Conservative, and some are Orthodox. Among Orthodox, Hasidim are a sect. If I understand correctly, among Hasidim, Chabad is a sect. The diggers of this tunnel were a few rogues within Chabad, yet this tunnel is credited/blamed on "the Jews" in general, and sneering insinuations suggest that the tunnel was for pedophilic purposes and, sans evidence, that many synagogues have such pedophilic tunnels.

I don't get it. I thought any tunnels would be primarily for storage of food and wine because they are cooler,as well as possible escape routes in case of attacks,and NEITHER is a "Jewish thing".
AFAIK,historically,pretty much ALL religions were attacked at one time or another by mobs of different faiths,or no faith at all. It wasn't just Jews.
AFATG,there have been times in history where people who WERE NOT religious believers needed escape tunnels to get away from attacking religious fanatics.
AND......,as with the religious groups,they were also handy for cool storage of wine and food.
