"Western Wall"



A reporter goes to Israel to cover the fighting. She is
looking for something emotional and positive and of
human interest. Something like that guy in Sarajevo who
risked his life to play the cello everyday in the town
square.

In Jerusalem, she heard about an old Jew 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 goes to the Western Wall and there he is! She
watches him pray and after about 45 minutes, when he
turns to leave, she approaches him for an interview.

"Rebecca Smith, CNN News. Sir, how long have you been
coming to the Western Wall and praying?"

"For about 50 years."

"What do you pray for?"

"For peace between the Jews and the Arabs. For all the
hatred to stop. For our children to grow-up in safety
and friendship."

"How do you feel after doing this for 50 years?"

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

Today is the Jewish holiday of Purim. Though unlike the Jewish Sabbath
(Shabbes) and the holy days, work is permitted. Still, Jews have a
number of extra religious obligations today, including special and
extended prayer services and other functions.
