[Avodah] Pronouncing Sheimot in the Haggadag (was: Moshe's name in the haggadah)

[Arie Folger]

On a thread entitled Moshe's name in the haggadah, a discussion ensued
as to whether the occirrence of Moshe's name atthe end of a derashah
by R'Yossi Hagelili is a later addition, and that the source only
included the word relevant for the derashah, i.e., the first half of
the verse, or whether ours is the original version.

This leads me to another question. Maggid is a mitzvah of storytelling
and of Torah learning, not prayer. There are many verses that are
expounded upon in detail, with partial verses being quoted all over
the place (though they are eventually completely expounded upon, but
in little portions).

While I understand that common practice is to pronounce any Names of
G"d that occur in these snippets, one should wonder whether that is
appropriate. Should we not rather say "HaShem"? Or is the story then
deficient, since we don't really tell of G"d's wonders, but use a
euphemism (just like when praying in English one would not fulfil his
obligation if reading "HaShem" instead of L"rd or outright Ad"nai)?

Or perhaps we should never get hung up on pronouncing G"d's Name in
such an appropriate context, even when only quoting a verse snippet,
since it is done in an appropriate context.

I remind list members that there is, by comparison, really no problem
(and no point avoiding) pronouncing G"d's Name in a song; it is in
fact very appropriate, as we then really praise Him. Is expounding
upon verses the same?

And if we should pronounce G"d's Name in the Haggadah, should we also
when teaching Chumash? (I was taught "Vayoimer Hasem, in der Aibishter
hot gezugt, el Moishe, zie Moishe," clearly without pronouncing G"d's
Name).
