“Cohen is a shanda and a putz.
That’s an apt description collectively of the Jewish Left, especially those in the anti-Israel camp.”

Ok, I know what a putz is, but “shanda” has me stumped. What does it mean?

The best translations of shanda (Yiddish word) would be shame or disgrace, often used to refer to a Jewish individual's action in relationship to the Jewish community as a whole.
