This is the first part ( of 10) of an audio lecture presented by Mrs. Lori Palatnik through Aishaudio.com . You can watch the lecture as a whole on our play list for it. Mrs. Palatnik is a vivacious and interesting lecturer. Many more of her lectures and articles are available on Aishaudio.com and at Aish.com . Jewish Heritage and Holidays (JHAH) produces Jewish educational materials in ASL. For more information about our project, please visit our website- the JHAH section of www.EtzChaimIndy.org
The name of God in any language is in and of itself holy, and Jewish law forbids its destruction. Consequently, many Jews will spell it in unusual ways such as G-d. Our Rabbinical advisors permit us to type out the name because on a computer monitor the image of words does not have the solidity and permanence of a document. However, we have been cautioned to ask you not to print out materials that have such a name on them, unless you are prepared to dispose of such a page in the proper manner. (Burial of such pages is best.)
