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 in a very slow fashion , she approached him for an
interview.
'Pardon me Sir, I'm Rebecca Smith from CNN, What's your name?
'Maury Fishbein' 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 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 f***ing brick wall.'
