dupe of russ at The Wall
Heres what he wrote about it:

"Pesach, Tevia, and Yoni (also known as Jeremy, Russell, and Jon). For months, I've been looking under my bed and in my cabinets before I go to sleep in anticipation of the Yoni dupe. As soon as I begin to think he's never coming to Israel...So, Jer brings me down to the Kotel (Western Wall) to pray for his ailing realative, and I'm leaning against the wall (shown in backround) thinking positive thoughts and listening to this old Chassidic man who is wrapped up in a Tallis (religious blanket, for lack of better words) and has a fur mink hat with long peyes (curly hair located above the ear. Religious Jews grow them long extremely long) curling past his chin, chanting Yiddish songs. All of a sudden, in the midst of deeply concentrating on the mans' voice and Jer's relative, the chant changes tune to the first couple of notes of "I know you rider", a Grateful Dead song that remains a powerful motif for our friendship. In a split second, I lost control and instinctively tackled this "old man" on the stone floor of the Kotel, knowing or hoping that it was Yoni."
