Question
Hello Rabbi, I was in contact with the Rabbi a few months ago regarding a Psalms poster I published in large quantities in several cities, thank God. This is a poster with Psalms that store owners put on the wall near the cash register so that people read them in stores instead of just waiting in line. Also, a poster is placed in many elevators to read Psalms instead of wasting precious time in the elevator. I am attaching the poster for the Rabbi. Regarding the names of God, I did not know how to write them because I was afraid that the store owners would not be careful to put the poster in Genizah, and also due to the lack of modesty in the stores. 1. י . ה . ו . ה 2. א . ל . ה . י 3. א . ל . ה . י . נ . ו 4. א . ד . ו . נ . י I received an answer: "The choice is correct and successful, you should write two yods and Elokeinu with a 'k'." And that's exactly what I did. A few weeks ago, I received a message: "Please note in the chapter 'Shir HaMa'alot MiMa'amakim' the name appears several times as א . ד . נ . and not in the usual form, and it is customary to write two yods only in the name הוי''ה and not in the name אדנות. It is advisable to ask a wise man how to correct." What is the Rabbi's opinion? Should anything be changed or is it okay as we did initially? Thank you very much in advance.
Answer
Hello,
You have done perfectly well.
When writing two yods, there is no concern of confusion between the name הוי''ה and the name אדנות.
