Question
Is there an issue with writing in a 'chabura' the words E-l or Sha-dai, and when delivering the 'chabura' publicly, is there a problem with pronouncing it precisely?
Answer
Shalom Rav,
There is no issue with writing sacred names on a page that will be kept with sanctity.
It is not customary to pronounce the name of God even for study purposes, unless it is said within a verse. In Sephardic communities, it is customary to permit this.
