No. Not only is it forbidden to make any image of God, but there is no point, since nobody knows what God looks like.

Even the most liberal branches of Judaism have a strong belief against drawing images of God.

God is not physical and does not have a form. He strictly forbade the making of an carved image to represent him. Although one could argue that a painting or illustration is not a carved image, it would still be impossible to portray him as anything but a symbolic representation.

The Torah forbids it (Exodus 20:3, Deuteronomy 5:12 and 5:16) for two reasons. One reason is because it would be misleading, since God has no form. The other reason is that making an image or picture of God is the top of a slippery slope which leads down to idolatry.

No. You will see no drawing, photo, or other representation of
any biblical or other historic figure in a synagogue.

By the way ... if you could, what would you draw ? ! ? What have you seen ?

NO. Judaism is an iconoclastic tradition and holds that God has no set form or conception. As a result, any drawing would serve to limit God's nature.
