    I heard someone singing Echad Mi Yodeya in Arabic. Allah, from אחד אלקינו, was the only word I recognized.

  • @DoubleAA E.g. Pri Chadash YD 19:6 doesn’t take issue with saying Allah only that it’s an unnecessary interruption between in the blessing and slaughtering.

    Don't you think it's ironic to ask if you can call 'God' 'Allah'?

Having grown up in Egypt and knowing Arabic, I can tell you that Jews (like Muslims) freely use "Allah" in conversation to refer to God, although it is frequently replaced by "Rabbena" (Our Master). God is usually addressed directly as "Ya Rabb" (O Master).
