Default At the western wall



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 and as she arrived at the Western Wall,
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 is your Name?"
"Morris Fishbien," 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."


"How do you feel after doing this for 60 years?"


"Like I'm talking to a damned wall !"
