One Who Mourns Yerushalaim Will be Able to See a Bit Of The Rebuilt City:
The Kedushas Levi further writes that when Chazal say (Tainis 30B) that anyone who mourns for Yerushalaim will merit (“zoche”)) seeing it with joy, the intention is that a person’s strengths stem from his thoughts. If one thinks about Yerushalaim and mourns its destruction, his thoughts will become purified. (The word “zoche” can also mean “hizdakekus”, purification.) Once his thoughts are pure, he will immediately be able to experience a bit of the joy of Yerushalaim that will exist in the future.
