Where’s the “o”?
Why do we leave out the “o” G-d?
A Note About the Spelling of G-d’s Name
Why do we leave out the “o” when referring to G-d? According to Jewish tradition we do not write out the Creator’s name in any language, unless as part of a printed book which we know will be preserved with dignity and treated as holy. Refraining from writing out His name is a sign of reverence and awe for the Creator. If this name were to be written out and then, the paper on which it was written would become lost or destroyed, or even if it was brought into an unclean place, this would be showing disrespect and it would be a desecration of His name.
