|

In Jerusalem, a female journalist heard about a very old Jewish man who had
been going to the Western Wall to pray, twice a day, everyday, for a long, long
time.
So she went to check it out. She went to the Western Wall and there he was! She
watched him pray and after about 45 minutes, when he turned to leave, she
approached him for an interview. "I'm Rebecca Smith from CNN. Sir, how long
have you been coming to the Western Wall and praying?"
"For about 60 years."
"60 years! That's amazing! What do you pray for?"
"I pray for peace between the Christians, Jews and the Muslims. I pray for all
the hatred to stop and I pray for all our children to grow up in safety and
friendship."
"How do you feel after doing this for 60 years?"
"Like I'm talking to a fuckin' wall."
