A journalist
assigned to the Jerusalem bureau takes an apartment overlooking
the historic Wailing Wall.
Everyday when she looks out,
she sees an old bearded Jewish man praying vigorously. Certain
he would be a good interview subject, the journalist goes down
to the Wall and introduces herself to the old man.
She asks, "You come every
day to the Wall, sir, how l long have you been doing that and
what are you praying for?"
The old man replies, "I
have come here to pray every day for 25 years. In the morning I
pray for world peace and for the brotherhood of man. I go home,
have a cup of tea, and I come back and pray for the eradication
of illness and disease from the earth. And very, very important,
I pray for peace and understanding between the Israelis and
Palestinians."
The journalist is very
impressed. "How does it make you feel to come here every
day for 25 years and pray for these wonderful things?" she
asks.
The old man replies calmly,
"Like I'm talking to a wall.
