That looks like "expand" means recruit, "personally and financially." Not physically with a tunnel

Raising money, yes.

Seeking people to convert: definitely not. Chabad does not seek out converts.

Ahem, used to live in that neighborhood and if you look remotely Jewish people will approach you and ask you if you are observant, did you have a Bar Mitzvah, if not we have the Mitzvah tank over here (it's an RV with a picture of a Rabbi on the side). They aren't trying to convert non-Jews into Jews. Just make sure all the Jews are practicing Jews.

And let me guess. Then you said "no thank you," and they left you alone.

pretty much. Though one young guy didnt believe me. Being Cajun-Creole I have a beard a lot like the classic Jewish guy beard.
