What was the name of the deity of Judaism?

Answer 1

The Creator has one true name which is represented by the letters YHVH in English. The Hebrew letters are "yud, hei, vav, hei". These four letters are referred to as the tetragrammaton and are an contraction of the Hebrew words for, "was, is, and will be". His true name was only said in the Temple and with the Temple's destruction we lost the correct pronunciation.

In the Tanach (Jewish Bible), there are 72 different 'names' used for The Creator, these aren't actual names though, they're descriptions of Him that are contextual. In daily conversation, most Jews the name 'HaShem' which literally translates to 'The Name' in reference to His true name.

Answer 4

The name of God in Judaism is YHVH. Some believe that the pronunciation of this name is Yahweh. Jews do not say the name of God and instead say Adonoi, meaning The Lord. Other names of God are El Shaddai and Elohim, but God's true name is still YHVH.

The words Yahweh, Jehovah, and any variation are Christian in origin and have never been used by

Jews. (There is no 'J' or 'W' in the Hebrew language.)

Answer 5

• In Hebrew Scripture:
  
  • יהוה - the Eternal (see below)
    
  • Adonai - the Lord
    
  • Elohim - God
    
  • Shaddai - the Almighty
    
  • El - a name indicating the power of God
    
  • Tzevaot - Lord of hosts
    
  • Yah (or Jah) - this is a lesser form of God's name יהוה
  
  

  Note:

  God's name in the Torah is יהוה (in Hebrew, not in English). Other names which refer to God (such as Elohim) are more generic (referring to God's power) and can in certain contexts refer to such authorities as judges (Exodus ch.21-22).
  Over the course of the exile, the exact pronunciation of יהוה has been lost. (The usual transliterations, Jehovah or Yahweh, are inaccurate renditions based on a misunderstanding of the the way it is printed in such vocalized texts as Hebrew prayerbooks and printed Tanakhs.)
  The name יהוה is not pronounceable for us, due to to a religious prohibition for Jews (Mishna, Sanhedrin ch.11), and also to the fact that the way in which it would be pronounced is today not known. While the Temple in Jerusalem still stood, only the Kohen Gadol would pronounce this name of God and only one day a year. The remainder of the time, less explicit names of God, including Adonai or Elohim, were used; and that is what we do today also, in prayers, blessings and Torah-reading. In daily conversation in English, we use English words (God, or the idiomatic "Hashem," which refers to God but is not an actual name).

Answer 6

Dictionaries define "Judaism" as The monotheistic religion of the Jews, since the founding principle of Judaism was and is the belief in One God, creator of the universe. This was the teaching which was spread by Abraham, and has continued since then. From Judaism, belief in One God has spread through the Western world.See also the Related Links.
