annon: Honestly, I think that your position is anti-Torah (and syag, I apologize for this). You are making a special emotional case for something that may or may not be extra-Halachic. You are no longer trying to discuss a Halachah. You feel that you know the proper way to remember Yerushalayim, forget what Halachah says. Frankly, it’s absurd. My reductio ad absurdum case for this is to tell you you can’t shower all year long because you should be mourning the loss of the Beis Hamikdash. And don’t you dare ask a Shailah about that. After all, even thinking about asking the Shailah is missing out on the Aveilus in the first place. Congratulations, you just created an emotional religion that doesn’t care about Halachah and refuses to let others care about Halachah. Honestly, it’s the same thing that goes on in YCT and OO. You just have a different result.
