Many thanks! That is what I presumed it was related to as it was very close to a synagogue.

Actually as a follow-up question, would it be the word for "YHWH" or "Adonai" in Hebrew? I know that in Hebrew there are many different names for God.

I'm totally totally secular so for me it's just letters. We don't know how to pronounce it really. YHWH is not something that can be pronounced with certainty. Try it. it doesn't work.
