Khorbn - Yiddish Word
Yiddish-language Holocaust literature belongs to the earliest of the genre and exhibits specific characteristics. For instance, the extermination of European Jewry was named khurbn (“loss,” “destruction”) in Yiddish – a designation that can be traced back to the destruction of the Temple of Jerusalem (586 BCE and 70 CE).

Yiddish Word of the Day!
Oy Vey - Yiddish Word
Oy and vey are two very old Jewish interjections which both mean “woe.” Oy is found many times in the Bible (see Numbers 21:29, I Samuel 4:7 and Isaiah 3:11 for a few examples). Vey is newer than oy; it is oy’s Aramaic equivalent.
Today, oy and vey are often used together. “Oy vey” is the ethnically Jewish way to react when you find out how much your son’s root canal will cost, or when you find out that there is a two-hour wait time for a table at the restaurant where you just arrived.
Sometimes you’ll hear people groan “oy vavoy,” which is Hebrew for “oy vey.”1 Those who prefer Yiddish lamentations will often cry “vey iz mir,” which means “woe is to me.”
Num. 21:29 Woe (Oy!) to you, Moab.
You are ruined, O people of Chemosh!46
He has made his sons fugitives,
and his daughters the prisoners of King Sihon of the Amorites.
1Sam. 4:7 The Philistines were scared because they thought that gods had come to the camp.13 They said, “Woe (Oy!) to us! We’ve never seen anything like this!
Is. 3:11 Woe (Oy!) to the wicked sinners!
For they will get exactly what they deserve.2
