Saying G-d's name
Question
May I pronounce Hashem’s Name when reading Targum outside of the mitzvah of Shnayim Mikra ve’Echad Targum? For example, after I have already fulfilled the mitzvah, or when learning other Targumim such as on Neviim and Ketuvim (Nach) or Targum Yonatan. Or is pronouncing Hashem’s Name allowed only during the actual fulfillment of Shnayim Mikra ve’Echad Targum?
Answer
Shalom!
Thank you for your question.
It is permitted to pronounce G-d's name when reading Targum.
Wishing you well
