Robert Perry asks:
In my reading from Chabad.org about Jews traveling, as in the Traveler's Prayer, and the associated explanation of "travel laws" (my words), I came across the terms "Mil" & "Amos" in which they are referred to as a measurement of distance. Please direct me to a point of explanation for these terms.

The Kollel replies:
Sholom Rav,
An Amah is between one and a half and two feet (there are two opinions as to the exact measurement).
One Mil is approximately one kilometer.
