A female CNN journalist heard about a very old Jewish
man who had been going to the Western Wall to pray, twice a day, every day, for
a long, long time.
So
she went to check it out. She went to the Western Wall and there he was,
walking slowly up to the holy site.
She
watched him pray and after about 45 minutes, when he turned to leave, using a
cane and moving very slowly, she approached him for an interview.
"Pardon
me, sir, I'm Rebecca Smith from CNN. What's your name?
"Morris
Feinberg," he replied.
"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 wars and all the hatred to stop."
"I
pray for all our children to grow up safely as responsible adults and to love
their fellow man."
"I
pray that politicians tell us the truth and put the interests of the people
ahead of their own interests."
And
finally "I pray that everyone will be happy".
"How
do you feel after doing this for 60 years?"
"Like
I'm talking to a f@#$%!g wall"
