In short answer to sojourning_one, yes some/many Orthodox Jews write “G-d” out of reverence for God. Traditionally all Jews and all Christians had a special reverence for God’s name, in both meanings, created name and divine power. It is in the Ten Commandments not to treat His name with disrespect. The sarcasm about finger-worshipping above is the type of irreverence that is forbidden. Venerating God’s name is throughout Scripture, liturgy, saints’ writings, and saints’ lives. In short answer to Jean-Serge, there is a Theophany prayer worshiping the name of Jesus along with the Father and Spirit. So, the name of Jesus can mean the person of God the Son

Making league with the Talmudists is not a good look
