Reb David’s note

I've been combining the Yah name for God (Hallelu-Yah) with the more stodgy but familiar (though yet startling-sounding) Adonai. Yahdonai also seems to be a traditional Kabbalistic formulation of the Name as evidenced by the next page in which the letters of the Yod Hay Vav Hay are interleaved with the Alef Dalet Nun Yod of Adonai. I think it has power. The graphic is from the fractal book mentioned above and suggests both a spiral and also a hexagonal crystal. It is a "strange attractor" plotted through the cross section of a chaotic torus. While I don't quite know what this all means, I do know that a torus is a bagel shape, which may or not say something about the transcendent aspects of bagels. Suggest it at your next Sunday morning gathering.

Words

YHVH, the Name יהוה

The four-letter Name of God, the Tetragrammaton. It is not pronounced as written; it is read aloud as Adonai, or in Renewal circles sometimes as Yah or Havayah (Being).

Adonai אדני

“My Lord.” The word traditionally spoken aloud in place of the written Name.

Yahadonai יאהדונהי

The letters of יהוה and אדני interleaved into one word, a Kabbalistic way of holding the written and spoken Names together.

On the page

The page's lower line sets יהוה above אדני so the two can be read together, with the vowel points of each.
