Question
As an illustrator and calligrapher, I am now also teaching.
What are the laws pertaining to writing the name of Gd on paper? This is not the klaf for a mezuzah, but a brocha to be hung on a wall, the birkat hacohenim for example? I want to be able to give my students the correct information.
Answer
It is forbidden to write Hashem name for any reason other than on Klaf for Mezuza ect.
