Using the word ‘Allah’ to pray.

Arabic is my mother tongue, and like anyone who speaks more than one language probably knows, sometimes nothing can express how you feel and what you think better than your mother language. No matter how good you’re in English, Hebrew, French, etc, none of them manages to touch your heart like the words you grew up hearing and speaking.

When I was a Christian, it was easy to call G-d, Allah, but with Judaism, and considering the importance of the name of G-d, and the place of the Hebrew language in the liturgy, I’m curious if you think it is appropriate to use a term like Allah to call on G-d during prayer?
