A new music video shows exclusive footage from “Rubashkin’s Game Plan,” an upcoming documentary film focusing on the Rubashkin case and dual reaction of anger and solidarity from the Jewish community following the harsh sentence handed down to Sholom Mordechai Rubashkin.
The song, titled Yedid Nefesh, features an original song composed by Danny Finkelman performed by Bentzi Marcus of the 8th Day and Dovid Dachs.
Rubashkin’s first arrest on charges of violating immigration and child labor laws, the largest immigration raid ever conducted in the U.S. at the Postville, Iowa Agriprocessors plant and Rubashkin’s second arrest on charges of financial fraud, resulting in an unusually harsh sentence of 27 years in prison.
“The words “yedid nefesh” literally mean “a friend of the soul,”, a description that literally defines Sholom Mordechai,” says Danny Finkelman, the film’s creator and producer.
“He treated thousands of people he never even met as true friends, both in the way he conducted his business and his personal life,” Finkelman added.
Yedid Nefesh focuses on the outrage, indignation and tremendous unity that has swept through the entire Jewish community in response to the case, which was perhaps, unknowingly, Sholom Rubashkin’s ultimate Game Plan.

This is not what Hashem wants from us!!!! That is not why Sholom Mordechai Rubashkin is sentenced to 27 years in prison!!! There is something much more that is needed from us then chanfe to the goverment. Hashem wants, achdus, tzedaka, tefilla!!!!! That is the only way we will I”YH get Sholom Rubashkin out!!! Of course we have to do hishtaldus because that is what Hashem told us to do as well. But not by your approach! Just take the time and inspire everybody to beg Hashem to bring the geulah for Sholom Mordechai and to all of klal yisroel.… Read more »

The thing that all of us can do to bring the yeshuah to the Rubashkin family, together with the geulah shleima is daven, daven, and daven some more!! Hashem will surely listen to the tefillos of klal yisroel and we will see the yeshua NOW!!!
very moving, i was crying through it all!!!
dont vote for obama he did not help sholom
that is not nice!!1
and pretty good production as far as music but the video is all over the place and looks almost pointless
Sooo sad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let’s go back to the beginning of this story. It all started with the forward newspaper. Their hatred for frum Yidden is legendary. Now the question becomes Who can benefit from this hatred. People who want the money and support from non frum Yidden. (i.e.. Politicians like Obama) How can politicians get their money.
By hurting frum Yidden, the Forward and their followers will send their money to these politicians.
Just a thought.
Tell me what you think.
we need a nes.
AD MOSAI!
beautifull
so sad. i wish he was released already
i cried
made me cry!
hashem!!
it is so nice but very sad !!
Beautiful music!!!!!!!
Really nice powerful video, we need a big miracle, that said its time for Lubavitch starting at a young age to become educated in the art of lobbying and civic affairs, I mean imagine every Lubavitch kid who’s a US citizen writing as a class project letters to their local congressman etc, the Rubashkin story would become important to them I mean with election season around the corner, even more important then that why are the frum communities consistently amogst the lowest in voting turnout with Crown Heights probably the lowest from within the frum community, I won’t even get… Read more »
