nature of god - judaism

Answer 11

The tetragrammaton is the Hebrew name for G-d. it is the distinctive personal name for the God of Isreal. It is pronounced as Yahweh or Jehovah. Generally, Jewish people do not pronounce the tetragrammaton when written in scripture, instead replacing the name with Adona (Lord) or Hashem (The/His Name). when writing G-d in Judaism, many elect to leave the vowel out in recognition and reverence for the veneration of G-d’s name in the Jewish religion.
