No, Jews never use that spelling.
The name of God (YHWH) is not pronounceable, partly due to to a religious prohibition for Jews (Talmud, Sanhedrin ch.11), and partly due to the fact that the way in which it is pronounced has been lost to history. While the Temple in Jerusalem still stood, only the Kohen Gadol would pronounce the name of God (×™×â€Ã—•×â€) and only one day a year. The remainder of the time, less explicit names of God, such as Adonai or Elohim, were used; and that is what we do today too.

God's name in the Torah is ×™×â€Ã—•×†(YHWH in Hebrew, not in English). Other names which refer to God (such as Elohim) are more generic and can in certain contexts actually refer to such authorities as judges (Exodus ch.21-22).
Over the course of the exile, the exact pronunciation of God's name ×™×â€Ã—•×†has been lost. (The usual transliterations, Jehovah or Yahweh, are according to Jewish tradition inaccurate renditions based on a misunderstanding of the the way ×™×â€Ã—•×†is printed in such vocalized texts as Hebrew prayerbooks and printed Tanakhs.)

In daily conversation in English, we use English words (God, or the idiomatic "Hashem," which refers to God but is not an actual name).

What is to Islam as Yahweh is to Judaism?
The most common answer to this analogy would be: Allah is to Islam as Yahweh is to Judaism, but this is incorrect for two reasons outlined below. This analogy does not have a proper answer for two major reasons. Firstly, Yahweh is a name that archaeologists have ascribed to Jewish worship that Jews themselves have not accepted as a name of God. They believe the YHVH to be unpronounceable. Secondly, even if we say that Yahweh represents the YHVH, it is the "Name of God", not just the "occupation of being God", i.e. the difference between Zeus (name of a god) and "god of thunder" (occupation of being a god). Muslims do not ascribe a name to their God, so there is no functional equivalent to Yahweh in Islam. Allah is merely the Arabic word for "God" and is therefore a reference to his occupation. The Jewish equivalent of Allah would be El or Elohim.
Is Yahweh the sacred text of Judaism?
