Language and Image
• Because the Jewish tradition places so much emphasis on spoken and written language, many Jewish people are very cautious about speaking or writing the name of God outside of a religious context.
• This concern also extends to images. Many people interpret the second commandment (which is against making images or objects and then worshiping them) as a prohibition against making images of God. Why do you think this is?
