[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Is it a lot different than the spanish name Jesus?[/b] I know we'd probably pronounce that differently, so maybe it's not the same. How often do teachers really say a student's name, actually? I'd not get worked up over it and just use other ways to get her attention, or call on her, etc.[/quote] It's not really the same issue, because Christians don't have the same rules about not speaking or writing god's name. Growing up in NY, I was familiar with the notion that observant Jews will write g-d, to avoid writing out his name in full. I am not familiar with Adonai, but that's probably because the rule is not to speak the name outside of prayer, evidently. [/quote]
