Hashem Talks To Us Through His Torah

We respond with our tefila

Neglecting Torah learning

Renders tefila abominable

מסיר אזנו משמוע תורה

גם תפלתו תועבה

On the 17th of Tamuz

Torah learning is broken

Three weeks later, our House Of Tefila

Comes crashing down

On the 9th of Av

A new tefila is introduced

Compensation

קינות = תיקון

Why is there no new learning introduced

On the 17th of Tamuz

To compensate for our loss of learning?
