An unprecedented music video entitled “Unity For Justice” featuring thirty nine Jewish music superstars made its worldwide debut at a press conference held this Thursday afternoon at the Jewish Children’s Museum in Crown Heights. Recorded to raise awareness and bring about justice for Sholom Mordechai Rubashkin, this eagerly anticipated video features a star studded international lineup of Jewish music’s top voices in addition to both an adult and children’s choir singing  Mordechai Ben David’s hit song Unity. Rubashkin, the former manager of the Postville Iowa Agriprocessors kosher meat packing plant, received an unusually harsh sentence of fifty one years in prison after being convicted of bank fraud and related charges following a federal raid on the Postville Agriprocessors plant in May 2008.
Unity For Justice, the brainchild of Danny Finkelman and underwritten by Trapcall.com of  TELTECH Corporation, created an unparalleled opportunity for the biggest names in Jewish music including Mordechai Ben David, Avraham Fried, Lipa Schmeltzer, Yaakov Shwekey, Benny Friedman, Dovid Gabay, Yehuda Green, Gad Elbaz, Ken Burges and dozens of others to literally raise their voices together in unity to show support for Shalom Mordechai Rubashkin and to protest the injustice that has been perpetrated in his case. Recorded and filmed in both the United States and in Israel, Unity For Justice is a dazzling visual and musical production, featuring a dizzying array of global talent from both the religious and secular Jewish communities all uniting as one to create a video that will uplift and inspire while raising awareness for Sholom Mordechai Rubashkin.




Like angels in the sky
In a garden full of glory
The galaxy so brilliantly related
Ultimately high
On that first page of our story
‘Till the time our parents were created

Envious brother Cain
Threw a blow so mad and chilling
Tragically he never did recover
It’s really so insane
All our selfishness, that’s killing
That stranger who’s our sister and our brother

CHORUS
So listen brother, listen friend Enlarge Notes
Just a little smile, a helping hand
And we all will find a loving kind humanity
We must teach our children to
Treat your fellow friends like they were you
And then we all find some peace of mind and unity

Eagle soaring by
could you lift him up with you now
and fly him home w justice pride and freedom
His eyes are gazing wide
From behind the bars he prays now

With faith with joy, oh how we wait to greet him
Ages rushing by
Writing chapters full of sorrow
Webs of self destruction, we are weaving
Because if we don’t even try
There’s no hope for our tomorrow
So what’s it all worth if we are not achieving?

CHORUS

Yes one thing makes me smile
I can feel that happy ending
As justice will prevail, so delighted
And in just a little while
He will join in freedom singing
With peace and love across a world united

CHORUS

A humble philanthropist and father of ten, Sholom Mordechai could have built himself an estate, taken extravagant vacations and bought his children all the latest trends and gadgets. Instead, he chose to support struggling institutions and individuals, fund a soup kitchen and open his home to those in need.

Sholom Mordechai is a righteous man who made a mistake, and that is something everyone can relate to. Sholom Mordechai must pay a price for his mistake, but 27 years incarceration, a virtual life sentence for the 51 year old man, is excessive and unfair for a case where no one was hurt, and no one is in danger. The courts need to take into consideration the life that Sholom Mordechai lead, his legendary kindness and generosity, his wife and ten children who need their husband and father at home, and others who did the same bank defrauding and were sentenced to only a few months in prison.

Unity for Justice has united 30 Jewish musicians in a single musical production to promote universal unity amongst Jewish and secular communities, in the hope and belief that unity and togetherness will raise public awareness for Sholom Mordechai Rubashkin’s case, and increase donations to help fund his legal team, who are now working to appeal Judge Linda Reade’s ruling.
