Prayer

In Jerusalem, an American female journalist hears of an old rabbi who
has visited the Wailing Wall to pray twice a day, everyday, for a long,
long time.

In an effort to check out the story, she travels to the holy site and
-- lo and behold! -- there he is. The journalist watches the bearded old man at prayer. After about 45 minutes, he turns to leave. She approaches him respectfully for an interview.

"I'm Rebecca Smith from CNN, Sir. Can you tell me how long you have
been coming to the Wailing Wall to pray?"

"For about 50 years", he informs her.

"50 years! That's amazing! What do you pray for?"

"I pray for peace -- peace between my people and the Arabs. I pray for
all the hatred to stop. I pray for all the children that they might grow up
in safety and friendship. I pray that God Almighty might finally grant
sanity to the leaders on both sides!"

"And how do you feel, Sir, after doing this so faithfully for 50
years?"

"Like I'm talking to a f***ing wall."
