Western Wall

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

    How right, how right!

    I have been there, seing the jews praying under heavy protection of Israeli military while just some meters away (at the level of Al Aksha Mosque) Muslims were praying (I think most of them for the same thing-s).

    I was lucky to visit these great sites in the early 90s; today, I would not like to go there anymore (well, I am an agnostic, former Christian).
