Causes of tension I recall have been the Lubavitchers creating traffic jams when accompanying the Rebbe on trips, and their objections to opening a MacDonalds in the neighborhood, which supposedly would have subjected them to breathing in non-kosher fumes from cheeseburgers. (I don`t know if the MacDonalds ever opened.)

I hope they can settle matters peacefully and find a way to live together.
