    I singled out Ashkenazi jews as most westerners aren’t aware of other groups such as Mizrahi or Sephardi. It was for ease of following conversation in case anyone else stumbled upon the comment thread. And yeah, I was referring to the original pronunciation of the letter and the original form of the Tetragrammaton.

    In terms of the usage of Adonai, Elohim, El Shaddai, or even Hashem, those are used at titles such as “Lord” and not the actual name of the Deity of Abraham correct? When you said “multiple names of God”, I assumed you meant the Kaballah teaching that there are 72 names of God

    Vav is a product of ashkenaszi pronunciations due to yiddish. Originally it’s Waw. And the multiple names for God thing comes from Kaballah which certain groups of Jews actually do reject as mysticism and not originally being grom Judaism but added in after the second temple period due to the Zohar. Certain groups such as the Kairaites for example, even reject the Talmud, Mishnah, and Kaballah and stick to Torah and Tanakh only

    There are several different ethnic groups of Jews. Ashkenaszi (European Jews and what westerners automatically assume a Jewish person is and looks like), Sephardic Jews, Yemeni Jews, Ethiopian Jews, Karaite Jews, and so many more. As well, the Jewish people have been subjugated to being forced to move and travel and who knows what the people of the time of Jesus would have actually looked like.
