Nine members of the ultra-orthodox Lubavitcher Hasidic sect were arrested on a Crown Heights street yesterday after a violent dispute erupted over a plaque honoring the sect's holiest figure. Seven men and two women were arrested as cops flooded the area outside the sect's synagogue and headquarters at 770 Eastern Parkway at 11:30 a.m. in response to a report of a disturbance involving nearly 300 Lubavitchers. The charges included resisting arrest and disorderly conduct. The violence erupted over the words "of blessed memory," which were inscribed on a plaque under the name of Lubavitcher Grand Rebbe Menachem Schneerson that had been affixed to a cornerstone at the synagogue's entrance.
The New York Post:
Nine people were arrested yesterday in a melee at the headquarters of Brooklyn's most visible ultra-Orthodox Jewish movement, which is divided over whether the Lubavitcher founder, Rabbi Menachem Schneerson, is alive or dead.
Workers at Lubavitch World Headquarters at 770 Eastern Parkway in Crown Heights were installing a new plaque on the building which refers to Schneerson's "blessed memory." But followers of Lubavitch's "messianic" wing object to those words, because they believe Schneerson — who died in 1994 at age 92 — lives in spirit and flesh. Some who are convinced that Schneerson lives fought the workers installing the plaque and other Lubavitchers who oppose their views, police and witnesses said.
Cops arrested seven men and two women in the 10 a.m. melee. The men face various charges, including assault on a police officer and resisting arrest. The two women were charged with disorderly conduct.
