[Avodah] learning kinnot

[Yosef Skolnick]

The understanding of the kinnot allows one to have a truly deep feeling and
emotions that lead to true despair over the loss.  If you say the words,
even with great fervor, it won't necessarily speak to the purpose of the
day.  This is a day of complete abandon to the despair over the loss of the
beis hamikdash.
