YHWH

YHWH, or also Yahweh, is the personal name for the God of Israel. This name, above all others is considered the holiest of holies and is referred to as the Tetragrammaton, in order to prevent actually having to use the Name of God, which is strictly taboo. The name, Ha Shem, which means ‘the Name,’ is commonly used when referring to God.
