Schande

This word is an ancient Hebrew word used to describe a disgrace, or one who brings the embarrassment through mere association. Someone who is "a disgrace", meaning "such a shame".

Famed Jewish protester Abbie Hoffman said that Judge Julius Hoffman, also a Jew, was "a schande vor de goyim" during the trial of the Chicago Eight, which meant "a shame before the gentiles", i.e non-Jews.
