What its original vowels were is a matter of speculation, as an interpretation of such texts as Exodus ...

There are a number of basic Jewish principles of faith that one is expected to uphold in order to be said to be in consonance with the Jewish faith. However, unlike most Christian denominations, the Jewish community has never developed any one binding catechism.

Rabbi Joseph Albo, for instance, in Sefer Ha-Ikkarim counts three principles of faith, while Maimonides lists thirteen. While some lat ...

Yahwism is the specific use of the Tetragrammaton (ancient Hebrew "YHWH") as a name of God. More broadly, it may also refer to a religion based on the worship of what it may call "Yahweh". (Since Ancient Hebrew had no written vowels, there is no way to know how it would have been pronounced, and the "a" and "e" sounds are arbitrary additions.) Almost all of modern Judaism forbids the use of this name in its explicit form. Jewish law requires that "fences" be built around the basic laws, so that there is no chance that th ...
