By a name, I know not how to tell thee who I am.

If, in order to tell you "who I am", I have to give you my name...I'd rather not.

My name, dear Saint,

If I were to tell you my name, Pretty Girl (who was dressed up as a saint at that costume party we were both just at),

Is hateful to myself, because it is an enemy to thee.

You wouldn't like it* . And because you wouldn't like my name, I don't like my name either.

Had I it written, I would tear the word.

If I had a piece of paper with my name on it, I would rip it up. I would pretend that my name was gone, and my family was gone, and then we could get married.

*Juliet has been talking about how she has a huge crush on Romeo. BUT she wishes she didn't have the name Romeo Montague, because her parents will never let her marry a boy named Montague. Romeo heard all this, and so he talks about how Juliet hates his name.

Who says your name dear saint is hateful to yourself Because it is an enemy to thee Had you it written you would tear the word?

This quote is from William Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet." Juliet is expressing that Romeo's name, being from the rival Capulet family, is the only obstacle to their love. She reflects on how a name can create division between people, even though it doesn't define who they are as individuals.

What are the basic tenets of Judasiam?

Don't do to others what is hateful to yourself. There is one G-d who created heaven and earth from nothing. He selected the Jews to be the example to the whole world of how to live according to His will. His Will was proclaimed to the entire nation, of which over 600,000 were adult males, in two parts, written and oral. The written part was written into what is known as the Five Books of Moses, the oral part, without which the written cannot be understood, was transferred from teacher to pupil, until due to the persecutions of the Romans and fear that the tradition would be forgotten, this too was submitted to writing, and is know as the Talmud.
