A clandestine undertaking on behalf of Israel, the Jets and the Jews.

 
G-d

A reader has e-mailed me to criticize the lack of "a dash" in G-d's name in my latest Jewish Press column. He claims that Jewish Press policy is always to use the term "G-d."

While I have no idea what the policy of the Jewish Press is, I can state that my draft of this week's column, as submitted to the Jewish Press, used the term "G-d." The paper's editors changed it, as is their prerogative; I have no control over editorial changes by the newspaper.

Generally, I use the term "G-d" on this blog. However, I view this as a custom, rather than something mandated by Jewish law.
