You never here a christian preacher utter the word Yahweh. The Jewish people gave the Romans Jesus to worship that way they could celebrate in the jubilee, the Jewish god Yahweh is for them the christian god name is I AM and the son is Jesus but the Jewish do not accept that, because they know they gave Jesus to the gentiles to get them off there back. Now don't confuse the Jewish people with the Zionist people of Israel
Take a look at these sites they are very helpful

GOD is not God if he is limited to only Jews, Christians, Muslims, Hindus etc. . . God is God for all.
That same God is called as Jehovah, Allah, Bhagavan, Krishna, Rama etc. . . in different languages.
More information regarding Krishna and Jehovah.
Satyaraja dasa(Steven Rosen) wrote a book "Om Shalom", a conversation between Satyaraja Dasa and Rabbi Shimmel.
Satyaraja Dasa (Steven J. Rosen), comes from a Jewish background and has been studying Krishna Consciousness -academically and as a practitioner-for the last seventeen years.
Rabbi Jacob N. Shimmel, a halakhic scholar originally hailing from Prague, Czechoslovakia. A rabbi for over twenty years, and Founder and Director of the Talmud and Torah Beth Rabbinical Association.
Satyaraja Dasa: What are some of the other, authentic names for God as found in the Bible?
Rabbi Shimmel: One of the most prominent is Elohim (“The Almighty”), which occurs about 3,350 times. This is related to the Semitic El (“Divinity”). El can be found in the word Israel. El Eliyon is another related name. These can be found throughout the Bible... all substitutes for the Tetragrammaton... YHWH. Another name, used less frequently, is El Shaddai. Of course, in everyday parlance, we usually say HaShem... this is the commonly used name. HaShem merely means “the Name.”
But, you see, the Tetragrammaton, YHWH, this represents the actual name. It is known as the shem hameforash, or “the explicit name.” This is the one that is honored by the mystics. Each of the four Hebrew letters—yad, hay, vav, and hay—is said to reveal various aspects of the highest reality.
Satyaraja Dasa: There are Indian scholars who have had some thoughts on this. Yadavayah, they say. Another name for Krishna. They say this could be the name... it has the appropriate letters.
Rabbi Shimmel: [laughter] They took their best shot.
Satyaraja Dasa: [laughter] Gross speculation. Ser-iously, though. There is a correlation that can be made between the Hare Krishna maha-mantra and the Tetragrammaton. It may be considered speculative, but there is definitely at least an abstract connection, a correlative feature. The maha-mantra is made up of four connecting names: “Hare Krishna” and “Hare Rama.” Of these four, three are different: you have “Hare,” “Krishna,” and “Rama.” Now, in the Tetragrammaton, you have four letters: the “yad,” the “hay,” the “vav,” and the “hay.” Now of these four letters, three are different: you have the “hay,” the “yad,” and the “vav.” Furthermore, according to Kabbalah, the “hay” is considered feminine. Correct?
Rabbi Shimmel: Yes, that's true.
Satyaraja Dasa: So also is “Hare” considered feminine, since it refers to mother Hara—Radharani. What's more, in the Tetragrammaton, “yad” is considered masculine and “vav” is an extension of “yad.” Is this correct?
Rabbi Shimmel: Yes. And I see what you're getting at.
Satyaraja Dasa: Right. Krishna is masculine and Rama is His expansion. So this seems to be quite coincidental...
Rabbi Shimmel: This is the first. I mean that's quite an interesting way of looking at it...

.... The Jewish, Christians, and Muslims all worship the same god, just in very different ways.

Christians believe there is only one God, who is 3 dimensional. Jews who practice Judaism but do not believe in Jesus are probably worshiping Judaism and that's it, a religion in and for itself. Muslims worship Satan. Any religion that grew out of threatening other people into submission could not have come from any other place.

Yahweh (Jehovah) A really vindictive psychopath. The Christians gave him a face lift through Jesus who is the opposite of daddy. He goes for "Kill every man, woman, child and animal" And Jesus is more for turning the other cheek. So Jesus saves love forgives etc but daddy will fry you. He is top dog. The first three commandments are all about him.

I know the Trinity concepts is very difficult to grasp, but I can assure you that Christianity is a monotheistic religion.
Judaism believes in God (no Trinity).
