The Gates of Tears By Rabbi Dovid Goldwasser

The Tiferes Shlomo explains that one should not feel that chas v’sholom the tefillos of Klal Yisroel are not accepted. However, when the Bais HaMikdash was destroyed, the main tefillah of Klal Yisroel is to cry out about the exile of the Divine Presence, the Shechinah. Our main concern is to pray for Hashem. When a person is mispallel and cries over the galus haShechinah, then the gates of tears are not closed.
