Not being Ultra-Orthodox I have only been vaguely aware that some people believe that Rabbi Schneerson (1902-1994) is actually the fabled Messiah (they put up flags and stickers but that's it)
but apparently that is a big split in his followers:

Imma ask around to see what other secular jews think.

Were you thinking of the remake? Although I think that line is actually unchanged.

What group or reason were they digging under a Orthodox temple?

quote:

The fracas Monday at 770 Eastern Parkway in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn began when a cement truck arrived to fill in a tunnel dug by a group of meshichisten. (Meshichisten is the Yiddish term used to describe Chabad�s �messianists,� who fervently believe in the imminent return of Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, the Lubavitcher Rebbe who died in 1994.) The passageway was apparently used to dump debris from an unauthorized expansion of the synagogue onto an unused property next door.

�

Precisely why they began to dig the passageway is unclear. But one member of the community, Mendel G., who for fear of retribution agreed to speak only if his full last name not be used, said the tunnel diggers were trying to bring to fruition an expansion of the synagogue that Schneerson himself had endorsed. He noted that the Rebbe, as Schneerson is known, had placed its ceremonial cornerstone. Financial strain, regulatory issues and infighting following Schneerson�s death stalled the project.

But a few years ago, said Mendel G., some students took matters into their own hands and began excavating.

�The plan has been there for years. Everybody wants it to happen,� said Mendel G., 30, who received ordination from the Chabad yeshiva at 770, said of the expansion. �It just takes a few people with guts to show that it could get done.�

�

One anonymous but self-described �devoted� messianist said in a comment to a news story online that the group�s �actions in expanding 770 are not only justified but are a crucial step in preparing for the imminent arrival of Moshiach. The Rebbe, our dear leader and the Moshiach himself, initiated the groundbreaking for this expansion in 1988, laying down a clear path for us to follow. This was not merely a physical expansion; it was a divine directive, a preparation for the era of Moshiach.�

He added that in breaking down the wall, the students were �actively participating in hastening the arrival of Moshiach.�
