“Rabbi Yochanan said: From the day the Temple was destroyed, the gates of prayer were locked… but even though they are locked, tears are not.”
— Berakhot 32b
“Even if the gates of prayer are closed, the gates of tears are not closed.”
— Bava Metzia 59b
What exactly is this so called gates of tears and how does it differ from the gates of prayer?
