God’s Nose Loves the Aroma of the Sacred BBQ

When I returned to Parsah Pinchas this year, I was intrigued, once again, by the recurring images of the sacrifices burning on the altar as being “pleasing to God’, (re-ah n-hoah, a phrase repeated over and over, elsewhere in Torah)...inferring that God has a physicality, a Divine Nose, perhaps, to be able to smell the intense aromas of the daily korbanot.
