#tetragrammaton

Why don’t Jews pronounce God’s name?

Because it’s sacred. In Judaism, names hold power, and the four-letter name of God (YHWH) is considered too holy to say casually or even write in full. Instead, Jews use respectful alternatives like “HaShem” (“The Name”) or “Adonai” in prayer. It’s not about fear—it’s about reverence. Avoiding the name is a daily reminder that the Divine is infinite, beyond language, and never to be taken lightly.

Thinking about how Moses was the first ever human to ask God Their name

Thinking about how Exodus in Hebrew is titled Shemot, The Book of Names, and this is the book in which we learn God's name

Thinking about the Holy Name itself, how poignant and meaningful it is how much it encompasses (too much to write it all here and now) how Hebrew was the perfect and maybe the only language able to express its meaning

Thinking about how God's name is Their breath of life, how it is quite literally life itself

Just, thinking about IHWH again

question for jumblr!

hi!!! to start this off with a disclaimer, i am not jewish; i'm currently converting. i'm also in college right now and taking history of western civilization which involves learning about the hebrews in judea (i feel weird saying hebrews but i believe this is just the historical term and isn't offensive to jews - if it is, let me know! this is also something i was curious about). my professor is also christian so i don't really trust her judgement on this lol (i'll go into more detail about how much i don't trust her judgement later and why).

so, my professor (and most historians as far as i know) use the tetragrammaton to refer to the jewish g-d. personally i don't understand why they don't just say g-d as they would with the christian g-d (especially since it's, like, based on our g-d?) and so my anxiety-ridden ass somehow worked up the courage to ask my professor this and she replied with (kind of condescendingly but this might just have been my imagination) "because it's the hebrew term for g-d. it means g-d in hebrew" or something along those lines. at this point (i have awful anxiety) i was overheating just from asking the question so i didn't say anything else and was just like ok 🥴 and left. but, like, if you want to use a hebrew term why not use hashem or ad-nai (although this one could also be dicey but probably less so than The NameTM)? to me, it just seemed pointless and unnecessary to say the tetragrammaton when i feel like most people are aware of how jews feel about that name. (to be fair my professor isn't jewish so i suppose she is exempt from our ~frivolous beliefs~)

anyways, TL;DR: should historians/teachers/professionals use the tetragrammaton when referring to the jewish g-d? is this just me being chronically online and/or not knowledgeable enough on the subject? i'm genuinely curious.

Andre 3000 : […] I feel very judgmental and I hate it. Like, I don’t wanna be judgmental. It’s almost like being a movie director.  Rick Rubin : Yeah. Andre 3000 : But not be able to go to the movie theatre and see movies on Friday like you used to because you’re judging every shot.  Rick Rubin : Yes. Andre 3000 : You’re judging every light.  Rick Rubin : Yes. Andre 3000 : Lighting situation. You’re like, they ADR that one up. You know, it’s kinda like… Rick Rubin : Yes. Andre 3000 : How do you get away from it?  Rick Rubin : Yes, it’s almost like you know too much. Andre 3000 : Yes, yes! Rick Rubin : You know too much. Andre 3000 : And not think as you go along […] you just gonna find a way to break free of everything you know and that’s very hard. Even melody-wise I’m getting sick of my melodies because they are all… they seem like they’re tied to something that I know or […] so I try to just throw notes anywhere […]

i have this running bit where i refer to the god of the old testament not as "God" but rather by his first name Yahweh. mostly this is because its more neutral (he's not *my* god anyway) and also because its very frank and vaguely snide and therefore comedic. and until recently i was the only one who knew about this

but since i explained this to my friends, one of them has also started calling him "Yahweh" in a tongue in cheek fashion and it absolutely floored me the first time

𝗗𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗗𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Iezalel

𝗗𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻

Today we might receive news from a friend, perhaps we had a falling out recently; Iezalel could be letting us know that you will hear from them soon and will help reconcile what took place. They could also have news regarding worldly affairs, such as a business opportunity or position. This is a day of alliances.

𝗠𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗰𝗸

Iezalel can help you find the right words if you're feeling stuck. By using the correct words and understanding, they can act as a great mediator and reconcile differences. They can bring you loyal customers and friends and facilitate worldly opportunities. If asked Iezalel will help you with any studies or exams you are taking, helping you to easily learn new information and distinguish you through speech. Any lectures you need to present Iezalel can help you to gain favour from your peers.

In the silence of the beginning, where time has not yet dawned, A sacred name was whispered, of the boundless and beyond. Four letters cast in mystery, a blueprint of the divine, Yod He Vav He, the sacred Tetragrammaton, where light and essence intertwine.

Oh Tetragrammaton, in your name the worlds are spun, From Kether's crown, your light cascades, until the end and back to one. Ineffable, unspoken, through the ages, you remain, A bridge from the Eternal, in your name, we find the chain.

Oh Tetragrammaton, in your name the mysteries call, Through the Sefirot descending, your presence flows through all. A whisper in the silence, where the highest angels fear, In your name, we seek the wisdom, that draws the distant near.
