I still love the original loop

I'm not ready to just abandon the Loop, it's been around for a long time, and its fun to go back and look at the archives. I feel like the Facebook Loop won't be as good

Dear Dad,

Rosh Hashannah

This is probably an easy question but I cant think of an answer

Why is Rosh Hashannah consider part of the 10 days of repentance? We are not allowed to say vidui- We dont say Al chet- We dont say Ashamu etc. But according to the Rambam there is no Teshuvah without Vidui. What makes my question even odder is that the main Mitzvah of rosh hashanah is blowing the shofar which is to awaken us to do teshuvah- but we cant do teshvah without vidui ?
A conumdrum .
I will offer up a large SLURPY to anyone who can satisfy me with an answer.
(Americans can collect the slurpy at 7-11 and Israelis can collect it at Holy Bagel in MOdiin

A בור ing question

I just came back from the kollel and am bothered by the following question. If anyone can help, i would appreciate it
It says in BABA KAMMA if one person dug a pit 10 tephachim deep, a second person added to it to 20 tephachim deep and then a third person came and dug it to 30 tephachim deep. Now an unlucky ox happens to fall into the pit- ALL 3 DIGGERS ARE OBLIGATED TO PAY DAMAGES. Why- I understand the 1 st guy is responsible- he dug a dangerous pit in a public domain, the 3 rd guy could be responsible because the ox hit the bottom of the pit where the actual damage occurred. Why is the middle guy responsible ?? Isnt it like a person falling off a building and just before he hits the ground, someone shoots him. He isnt guilty- he killed a dead person. The second guy didnt cause any damage // Sometimes the things that bother me are ODD.

I'm feeling fine

No need to go the Doctor

Remember when?

Remember when people would write things on the Loop like, "E is coughing and has a sore throat"? And then there was Facebook. And I'm taking him to the doc this morning.

don't know why, but this song has been in my head...now it's in yours too. Yes, I feel better, thank you :)
