Noach: Shadal's Radical Application of Dibra Torah ki'Lshon Bnei Adam
Show Notes

Synopsis: This is the audio version of the 1-page article I wrote, entitled, Noach: Shadal's Radical Application of Dibra Torah ki'Lshon Bnei Adam. We're familiar with the notion that the Torah is "forced" to use anthropomorphisms when speaking about Hashem, but what about the "extreme" anthropomorphisms, like how the pasuk states that "Hashem smelled the soothing fragrance" of Noach's korbanos? Shadal offers an answer which might knock your socks off when you consider its implications.
