Parashat Va'era 5785 | What is the Meaning of God's Name?

How can we even think that we can talk about G-d? Is it not impertinent to think that we can even speak about Him? What do we even know about Him? We know that He is the Creator. We know that He is endless. We know that He is uniquely One. So how do we relate to this endless perfect Oneness? Torah teaches us that we can relate to Him through His names. Our portion begins with the transition of God identifying Himself not as El Shaddai, as He revealed to the forefathers, but with His identity as YHVH...His proper name. What is the secret of this name, which we reverentially refer to as 'Hashem,' the Name?
