Sanhedrin 097: 6000 years
Barry Epstein <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> asked:
My notes say that the Rambam contends that Rav Katina's comment about the
"6000 years on and 1000 years of cessation" may have been meant only
figuratively (Moreh Nevuchim 2:29.
Is there today an opinion that this is not necessarily an upper limit?

The Kollel replies:
"Opinions" and "rulings" are officially presented only on Halachic matters,
not on Agada such as these. However, although most authorities understand
the Gemara literally, Rav Shlomo Fisher once told me that it does not have
to be taken as such.
