wise words from this old man..lol

[Bobbisox]

A CNN journalist heard about a very old Jewish man who had been going to the Wailing Wall to pray, twice a day,





every day, for a long, long time.


So she went to check it out. She went to the Wailing 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 Fishbien,” he replied.

“Sir, how long have you been coming to the Wailing 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 fluffing brick wall!"

I am sure you do not seriously think this is a 'reporting' issue vibra -

if any culture is capable of seeing the funny side of its rituals, it's the Jews!
