THE NAME OF GOD... And Why Jews Don't Pronounce It with Rabbi Michael Skobac.

The Tetragrammaton is the special four-letter Name for God found in the Torah. This video explores some of the profound meaning and significance of this holy Name. According to the Oral Torah, we are not to pronounce this Name and utter it as it is written, rather, it is pronounced during prayer and Torah reading as Adonoi (Master). There were several exceptions to this general rule where the Ineffable Name was pronounced in the Holy Temple. This lecture discusses some of the possible reasons for why we are forbidden, under normal circumstances, from pronouncing this Name. 

JEWS FOR JUDAISM is an outreach organization whose primary goal is to win back to Judaism those Jews who have been influenced by the following six threats to Jewish survival that are devastating the global Jewish community.

1. Hebrew-Christian missionaries convert thousands of Jews worldwide every year
2. Destructive cults cause many Jews to abandon family, friends and careers
3. Eastern religions, Buddhism and Hinduism are spiritual choices for many Jews
4. Apathy and ignorance leave many Jews unaware, unaffiliated and assimilated 
5. Intermarriage is exploding with a 75% rate in some North American cities
6. Anti-Israel BDS on campus inhibits Jewish students from standing up for Israel and Judaism

To assist non-Jews who have left other religions, JEWS FOR JUDAISM also provides educational programs to help them embrace the Torah’s Seven Noachide Laws for Gentiles.

We achieve our goals through our worldwide Internet outreach, Social Media, free educational programs, educational literature and counseling services that connect Jewish people to the spiritual depth, beauty and wisdom of Judaism.

“I am so grateful to have discovered the wonderful Jews for Judaism YouTube lectures by Rabbi Skobac. I am a Jew who converted to Christianity in college, but now, thanks to your online outreach, I have returned to Judaism. Thank you.” – Rebecca G.

In a nutshell, Jews for Judaism saves Jewish lives and keeps Jews Jewish.
