Mga Sanggunian sa Talmud para sa Mga Panaghoy 3:8: Berakhot & Bava Metzia

R. Eleazar also said : From the day the Temple was destroyed, the gates of prayer were locked ; as it is said, "Yea, when I cry and call for help, He shutteth out my prayer" (Lam. iii. 8). But although the gates of prayer are locked, the gates of tears remain unlocked ; as it is said, "Hear my prayer, O Lord, and give ear unto my cry ; keep not silence at my tears" (Ps. xxxix. 13).

Rabbi Elazar said, “From the day that the Temple was destroyed, the gates of prayer closed, as it says ‘Yea, when I cry and call for help, He shuts out my prayer.’ (Lamentations 3:8) And even though the gates of prayer are closed, the gates of tears are not closed, as it says ‘Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear unto my cry; you will not be silent at my tears.’ (Psalms 39:13)”
