Anyone know how to pronounce YHVH?

[perplexis]

Good thinking. But Succhot on street-corners? Irreparably weird!

It's pretty strange, that's true.
I've never heard of it being used for proseletysing people (and given that Judaism is not a proselytising religion it's )
Back OT:
YHVH- Yah-Weh, or J/Yehova, IME, or "Adon-ai" or even "Ado-shem", depending upon context and/or orthodoxy of person pronouncing it.

By the way, do you know what the thinking is on the name of G-d in electronic format? Does storing something electronically count as writing it down, and deleting said data count as throwing it away? Does the rabbinical council realise the data is actually dereferenced rather than deleted, and might you have to bury your computer?

So many questions.....

Who are those weirdos who stand around street corners with a lemon and stick and ask you "are you a Jew" as you walk by? (Mostly seen in the US)

heretics.

I'm serious btw.

I like "Jehovah." This is good, King James English. This pronunciation, of course, is not favored by modern scholars, who think we should use the Hebrew pronunciation (although we don't try for the Hebrew with any other OT names). Since the word was not allowed to be spoken aloud in Judaism for a long time, whatever vowels may have been used have been lost, and can only be approximately reconstructed.
