R’ Elozor said: Since the days when the Bais Hamikdash was destroyed the Gates of Tefillah have been closed, as it says, “Yes, when I cry and I call for help, He quiets my tefillah.” But though the Gates of Tefillah are closed, the Gates of Weeping are not closed, as it says, “Hear my tefillah, Hashem, and give an ear to my cry, please be not silent at my tears.” (Brachos 32b)
The Meiri says that after the Churban Bais HaMikdash Hashem certainly continues to answer our tefillos. However, it is not the same as it was during the time that the Bais HaMikdash was standing, and therefore, we have to “knock” on the gates before our tefillos are answered.
