Patrick B. Koch of the Emmy Noether Group "Jewish Moralistic Writings of the Early Modern Period" is featured in Jens Rosbach's program "The Secret of YHWH."

The broadcast of the journalist Jens Rosbach focuses on the most prominent name of God in Judaism: YHWH. The feature discusses the great religious significance of the Tetragrammaton and examines the mystery of the "sound of God." In doing so, it sheds light on how this divine name was once pronounced by the high priest in the Temple of Jerusalem, but then lost its phonetics over the millennia. The segment was aired on March 06, 2023 on the radio program "Info Hintergrund" of Norddeutscher Rundfunk. To listen to the feature, please click here.
