Praying at the Wall

Ain't it the truth!

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

"I'm Rebecca Smith from CNN. 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 hatred to stop and I pray for all our children to grow up in
safety and friendship."

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

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

Then there was this distinguished-looking gentleman who appeared at the Western Wall every day, and was always heard to say " I want to be with my people; take me where my people are! May I go to where my people are!"

After a while, someone approached him, and asked why he had been saying the same thing for so long. "After all", they said, You are in the land of Israel!" "Where are your people?"

"Miami Beach!", came the answer.
