Photos: Singers Join to Record Rubashkin Unity Chorus

[Photos below.] Last night, dozens of Jewish music artists gathered at Bennett Studios in Englewood, NJ, to record the concluding chorus of the special Unity song that has united over 35 Jewish artists from all over the world to raise awareness and bring justice to R’ Sholom Mordechai Rubashkin.

The singers present included Mordechai ben David, Yeedle, Yossi Goldstein, Michoel Schnitzler, Baruch Levine, Yehudah Green, Yanky Lemmer, Shloime and Dovid Dachs, Rivie Schwebel, Benny Friedman, Y-Love, DEscribe, Shira Choir, Sparks Choir, A. Klein, M. Werzberger, Shua Kessin, Berry Weber, C. Lanzbom, Yoni Zeigelbaum, M. Kravitzky, Avi Begun, and others.

Other singers, including Avraham Fried, Lipa Schmleczer, Gad Elbaz, Shlomo Simcha, Yehuda Green, Ohad, Yitzchok Meir Helfgot, Yossi and Avi Piamenta, Shloime Gertner, Aron Razel, Ken Burgess, Dovid Stein, Yisroel Werdyger and Bentzi Marcus, will be featured on the recording.

“The Rubashkin case has united the Jewish commmunity like never before,” Danny Finkelman, the project’s initiator and producer, said. “The goal is to unite the many people who care about Sholom Rubashkin through music.”

The song is based on the classic “Unity” originally written by MBD and Shea Mendelowitz, now with some revised lyrics by singer/songwriter Moshe Kravitsky.

The single, to be released before Rosh Hashanah, will include all new arrangements by Ilya Leshinsky and will be released as an audio and video clip.

The video will be directed by award winning filmmaker Marcio Arenas, a teacher at the NY Film Academy. The video will include live footage of Reb Sholom Mordechai and the Rubashkin family.

The project is sponsored by TelTech Corp, a phone technologies company.

“We want to raise awareness of Sholom Rubashkin’s plight, hopefully resulting in donations which will help pay for his defense fund,” said Finkelman.

Present at the studio yesterday were Mrs. Leah Rubashkin and her family, the Rubashkin Rescue Team led by Reb Shlomo Leizer Meisels, Eli Finkelman and Meir Cohen of Teltech Systems, and the producer of the project, Danny Finkelman.
