Description

Today's avodah (task) is not to study and lecture about kinos (lamentations), but to say them, joining with all other communities and with all earlier generations. Although it's hard, there is great reward. No matter where we are, Hashem asks us to make a small place for Him, a dirah betachtonim, so He can be with us. Including Hashem in our study of Torah. Torah should be that which gives us life. The significance of a permanent "4x4," a fixed time for learning, a fixed place for learning, rather than "hopping around" from one place to another.
