AN OLD JEWISH GENTLEMAN
AN OLD JEWISH GENTLEMAN
A female CNN journalist heard about a very old Jewish man who had been going to the Western Wall to pray, twice a day, every day, 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 and moving very slowly, she approached him for an interview.
"Pardon me, sir, I'm Rebecca Smith from CNN. What's your name?
"Morris Feinberg," he replied.
"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 wars and all the hatred to stop."
"I pray for all our children to grow up safely as responsible adults and to love their fellow man."
"I pray that politicians tell us the truth and put the interests of the people ahead of their own interests.""How do you feel after doing this for 60 years?"
"Like I'm talking to a wall. But "

My brother emailed this to me, so I emailed back to him with this question: "What's the purpose of the "But" at the end? I don't understand why it's needed."
He replied: "But without my prayers it might be worse"
Good one
Up kind of early? or REALLY late? Actually, I'm up at 5 a.m. myself, but I usually stay in bed till 6.
Up early, my muscles tighten up from the two operations if I am in bed too long.
Okay, then it's best that you....
Okay, okay, so it has a MINISCULE reference about politicians, but that's no reason for the NT membership to ignore the humour of it. At least, as indicated below, there have been 196 non-member visitors who have appreciated it making a worthwhile effort on my part to have posted it.
Not bad.
Agreed, but do you think it was good?
So basically he shleps to pray at a wall twice a day every day for 60 years for nothing. Some might call that meshuggeneh.
עדיין היה שווה לנסות.
LOL. Okay for those who "no kopish"...It was still worth trying.

I prefer cash, but thanks anyway.
