Can we do תפילות prayers for:
Rabbi Shlomo Riskin and Ohr Torah Stone?
So that through them The האור Light, רפואה The Healing and The ואהבה Love of ישועת יהוה Yeshuath YHWH may come back to הארץ The Land of Israel?

What is the real significance of our Tisha B'Av mourning?
What really caused the Temple's destruction?
The
Haftorah which is read immediately before the ninth of Av provides deep
insight into why the Temple was destroyed. Isaiah mercilessly berates
the Jewish people: "Hear the word of the Lord, rulers of Sodom, give ear
to the Torah of our God, you people of Gomorrah. To what purpose is the
multitude of your sacrifice to me? I'm sated with the burnt offerings
of rams, and the fat of sated beasts... Bring no more vain offerings,
incense of abomination they are to me. As for the New Moons, the
Sabbaths and the Festivals, I cannot bear iniquity along with your
solemn convocations. Your hands are full of blood... Wash yourselves,
make yourselves clean; put away the evil of your doings from before My
eyes; cease to do evil. Learn to do well; seek justice; relieve the
oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow..." (Isaiah
1:10-17)
