Substituting for Gd's Name in a pasuk

Hi,

One who reads a sentence of chumash out loud should read the entire sentence, and should read the Name of HaShem as part of it. Using a substitute for the Name of HaShem would constitute a corruption of the sentence.

However: One who is teaching children should use a substitute for the Name of HaShem, because there is often a need to interrupt the sentence for pedagogic purposes.

(Rav Moshe Feinstein, Igrot Moshe Orach Chaim 2:56)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
