She watches the bearded old man at prayer and after about 45 minutes, when he turns to leave, she approaches him for an interview.
"I'm Rebecca Smith from CNN, Rabbi, how long have you been coming to the Wailing Wall and praying?"
"For about 50 years," he informs her.
"50 years! That's amazing!" she exclaims. "What do you pray for?"
"I pray for peace between the Jews and the Arabs and I pray for all the hatred to stop." Pausing, he continues, "And I pray for all our children to grow up in safety and friendship."
"And how do you feel, Rabbi, after doing this continually for 50 years?"
"Like I'm talking to a f__king wall!"
