Praying for 60 years

The Wise Old Jewish Man


In Jerusalem , a female 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!

She watched him pray and after about 45 minutes, when he turned to leave, she approached him for an interview.

'I'm Rebecca Smith from CNN. Sir, how long have you been coming to the Wall and praying?' 
 
'For about 60 years.'

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

'I pray that poeple understand that religion is not a super good reason for a war, I pray that the poeple understand that this is our only planet and that we better be careful and I pray that millionnaires understand that they will not be that much happier if they become billionaires but that they will be much happier if they start to share.'

'How do you feel after doing this for 60 years?'

'Like I'm talking to a fuckin' wall.'
