Why are the people of Israel not allowed
to pronounce the name of God? The end of
this video you're going to be surprised
on the reason why it's so sensitive. I'm
not going to talk about rules. I'm going
to take you to the holiest ceremony in
the holiest place in the holiest day in
the Hebrew calendar, Yom Kippur, the day
of atonement. People of Israel are
fasting, crying, praying that God will
forgive them for their sins in the last
year. They are all gathered in the
temple mount waiting the highest priest.
After he finished all his work, he's
entering to the holiest holy and
pronounce the sacred name of God. People
of Israel will hear the name of God
coming out from the mouth of the highest
priest. They will all bow down on the
floor and answering "Baruch shem kavod
malchuto le'olam va'ed." It means
blessed will be the name. The most
important part of the most important
ceremony in the biblical time was to
hear the name of God. After the
destruction of the second temple, people
of Israel not allowed to hear this name
anymore. Such a sensitive subject. Of
course, a lot of secret behind it and
it's so beautiful.
