Ahavat Olam

(1/1)

Spiraling Leopard:
I saved one prayer from the course which is this one. The Hebrew words on the website were backwards, when I copied and pasted it in word is was backwards so I corrected it, and then when I copied and pasted it here, it was again backwards. Word also mixed up the letters of at least 2 words which I corrected, which was undone again along with other things the next day. Eventually I ended up copy and pasting the original copy and past from the website which worked out fine. At least I was forced to 'read' a lot of Hebrew which is good practice.
One thing I noticed is that Adonai is used for G-d, but on this website it is written in the unspeakable form while in other places it is written as Hey Yud. For instance: Shma Yisrael   'Hey-Yud'(Adonai)   Elo(k)eynu   'Hey-Yud'(Adonai)   Echad.
Why do they write Hey Yud instead of Adonai or HaShem?
