Assuming the question refers to the Hebrew language which is sometimes called Jewish, the Jewish name for God is spelled the exact same way as it is in Hebrew. The letters (transliterated into English) are: yud, hei, vav, hei.

Other names for God in Yiddish are Eibishter, Hashem, Got (as in German), and Adoshem.

That is the correct spelling of the proper adjective "Jewish" (referring to Judaism or Jews).

The personal name of God found in the Hebrew Bible is spelled with the 4 consonants yud, hay, vav, hay. This name is never pronounced. The Greek name for this name is the Tetragrammaton, which just means "4-letter thing", and in Hebrew, it is referred to as ha-Shem, which means "the name." Before Rome destroyed the Temple in Jerusalem in the year 70, the high priest pronounced the name once per year, on Yom Kippur. Since then, the proper pronunciation has been forgotten. Many observant Jews read the name as ha-Shem when they see it in text. In prayer, most Jews substitute Adonai, which meas "my Lord." The translators of the King James Bible used Lord or the Lord to translate the Tetragrammaton.

Since the time when Protestant clergy began to routinely study some Hebrew as part of their education, Christians have been fascinated by the question of how the name was once pronounced. The proposal that it was prounounced Jehovah is, at best laughable, but it was the popular answer through the 19th century. Jewish scholars have long agreed that it was some form of the verb to be, and Christian scholars of the 20th century have proposed more plausible pronunciations. In general, when Jews hear people attempting to pronounce the name, they cringe inwardly and begin to edge away. If you don't want to exclude Jews from a conversation, don't attempt to pronounce the Tegragrammaton, just do what King James' translation committee did and refer to the Lord.
