Wall of Hope....Mûr d'espoir

 

 


 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 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 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.
 "I'm Rebecca Smith, CNN News.
Sir, how long have you been coming to
 the Western Wall and praying?"
.
 "For about 50 years."
.
 "50 years! That's amazing! 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 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 bloody wall..."
