"Maybe Yaelle is Jewish."

Why would Yaelle omit the "o" in God?

Each time I saw God mispelled i thought that the person who wrote it didn't believe in God or that their God must be different than the God of the rest of us. Until someone told that some people spell it w/o the "o" because their religious books tells them not to spell the whole word. It doesn't make sense.

I do not know the origins of the spelling issue. I assumed it was an oral tradition. It may not make sense to you, but a lot of very religious Jews don't spell the name of God. God isn't even the name of God *LOL*

[Yaelle]

If His holy name is in something like a prayer book or even a little tableside booklet with prayers, if the book is dropped there is a custom to kiss the book before putting it back.

And you give to the synagogue anything with prayers in it that is no longer useable. I believe they have a burial place for these things.

I guess these are just customs. But they are meant to try and never forget the holiness that is our Creator and the holiness that sets us apart from living as animals do (sorry to the PETA members).
