Rabbi Aryeh Lebowitz

That is churbana.

Okay, so that's a machlokas.

But as far as the harabayis, there's no machlokas.

The Bais HaMikdash is certainly b'churbana.

But the question is, does that mean you have to see the floor of the harabayis?

Or that you see something on the harabayis?

So, where he quotes from the Briska Rav, that you need to see the floor of the Har Habayis, and therefore you should go to an elevated area on Har Hazesim or Har Tzofim, and be able to see the floor of the Har Habayis.

before you tear a kriya.

However, most achronim disagree.

And they point out, anything that's attached to the ground is like the ground, so the mask is attached to the ground, and therefore that is like seeing the ground of the Arabayis.

Furthermore, the greater symbol of destruction is seeing the actual mask, the actual dome on the Arabayis.

So I think that's the minig, that even if you just see the mask, that you tear a kriya.

Question number seven.

There is a famous concept

that on Yom Kippur our averos are transformed into zechuyos, provided that we did a proper tshuva.

Can Rabbi speak about this concept, what it means and what it doesn't?

Could it be that someone with more averos than someone else before Yom Kippur will end up with more zechuyos afterwards?

So just to clarify, it's a slight misquote of the concept.

the way it's presented in the question.

It's not talking about Yom Kippur.
