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."
"How do you feel after doing this for
60 years?"
"Like I'm talking to a fucking
wall."
