If this question is in fact asking for the Jewish perspective, then, first you must know that the word Jehovah/Yahweh is Christian in origin and is not, nor ever has been, used by Jews.

God is neither male or female, as God has no form and is not a person. We use many 'names' for God, but they're not true names, they are merely descriptions of His aspects; and yes, there is at least one that is in the feminine form. The word describing God's presence is Shechinah.

No. Yahweh (sometimes translated as Jehovah) was definitely masculine in early Hebrew belief. Archaeologists have found two separate inscriptions that refer to "Yahweh and his Asherah", evidence that the people believed that their God was married to the goddess Asherah. From the time of the Babylonian Exile, there is no further mention of Asherah and God is seen largely as neither male nor female, although always referred to as 'he'.

God is neither male nor female. He includes all aspects (not in a physical sense) and is simultaneously above them. See also:
