I taught the Daf today, Pesachim 46. Here are the resources for anyone out there who might be interested.
The second page might become its own blog post at some point. The assumption of the Poskim that a Mil is 18 minutes is difficult given the Gemara’s basing a Mil on the walk between Migdal Nuniah and Teveriah, which is a distance of 8 km., or 5 miles. I have a Facebook message in to an Israeli friend of mine who is both an archaeologist and a Talmid Chacham to see if he has any insight into this issue.
