From the beginning, Jews have shied away from naming God, using stand-ins, surrogates and proxies like Elohim and Adonai - God and Lord. In the Bible, if God has a name it was either lost in Israel's early history or never fully known. This inability to name God has co-existed with the sense that naming God limits God. Limiting God is a form of idolatry. Nonetheless, the Biblical name for God, a series of four letters, YHWH, known as the tetragrammaton, has been variously translated into different forms: I Am That I Am or I Am Who Will Be. As my exile deepens, I Am Who Loves The Prophets has become my way of addressing God.
