THE WALL
Â
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.
Â
So, she went to check it out. She went to the Western Wall and there he was, walking slowly up to the holy site.
Â
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.
Â
"Pardon me, sir, I'm Rebecca Smith from CNN. What's your name?
Â
"Morris Feinberg," he replied.
Â
"Sir, how long have you been coming to the Western Wall and praying?"
Â
"For about 60 years."
Â
"60 years! That's amazing! What do you pray for?"
Â
"I pray for peace between the Christians, Jews and the Muslims."
Â
"I pray for all the wars and all the hatred to stop."
Â
"I pray for all our children to grow up safely as responsible adults and to love their fellow man."
Â
"I pray that politicians tell us the truth and put the interests of the people ahead of their own interests."
Â
Â
"How do you feel after doing this for 60 years?"
Â
"Like I'm talking to a wall."
