Churban [destruction] old and new

Hi,

On why we continue to mourn for the Beit haMikdash, even though it was destroyed so long ago:

"If the Beit haMikdash is not re-built in any given generation, it is considered as though they had destroyed it anew."

(Talmud Yerushalmi Yoma 1:1)

Be well,
Mordechai
