Old Rabbi

[Padkapow Guy]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

In an effort to check out the story, she goes to the holy site and, sure enough, there he is!

She watches the bearded old man at prayer, and after about 45 minutes, as he turns to leave, she approaches him for an interview.

"I'm Rebecca Smith from CNN, sir. How long have you been coming to the Wailing Wall and praying?"

"For about 50 years," he informs her.

"50 years! That's amazing, sir!!

Can I ask you, what do you pray for?"

"I pray for peace between the Jews and the Arabs. I pray for all the hatred to stop, and I pray for all our children to grow up in safety and friendship."

"And how do you feel, sir, after doing this for 50 years?"

The old man replied,

"Like I'm talking to a <deleted>*king brick wall."
