Peggy Noonan, the Wall Street Journal columnist who won a 2017 Pulitzer Prize for commentary — and who was, of course, President Reagan’s main speechwriter — sparked a social-media firestorm when she used the Yiddish word “shonda” to describe her reaction to the decision to remove Stonewall Jackson and Robert E. Lee from the stained-glass windows at the Washington National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. Here’s Noonan’s tweet, in response to a story in The Washington Examiner on the windows: “A shonda. They were figures in the greatest, most killing moral struggle in US history. They didnt tweet, they took to the field and died.” Hint: it’s not Shonda Rhimes. Most Yiddish speakers pronounce it as shande or shanda. In Yiddish, shande means a disgrace, a shame, a terrible embarrassment, a scandal. Some Twitter users exploded over Noonan’s decision to use the Yiddish word to, of all things, describe the removal of stained-glass windows featuring Confederate leaders. Fiona Adorno (@fionaadorno), wrote: The only Shonda is your usage of a Yiddish word to defend idolatry of #WhiteSupremacists. Stick with English. They prefer it. Eve Zhurbinski, ‏ an intern for an organization supporting Democratic attorneys general, responded with a pithy tweet that at press time had 376 likes. It read:

Peggy Noonan: shonda!; Actual Jews: it was not, in fact, a shonda

Journalists also stepped into the fray immediately. U.S. News & World Report contributing editor John Stoehr memorably tweeted:

It’s not a shonda. “Jews will not replace us.” That’s a shonda.

Noonan’s tweet was part of a 15-tweet thread in which she argued that leaving the windows up will start important and necessary conversations about the past. She tweeted: Leave the statues up and tell the story, all aspects, as you pass. And ponder what grave moral wrongs we might be allowing/ignoring now./ But many Twitterati weren’t interested in nuance, or in a complex take on how to handle history. They stopped reading at “shonda,” appalled at a Yiddish word used in this context. Aviya Kushner is the Forward’s language columnist and the author of “The Grammar of God” (Spiegel & Grau, 2015).

Why is 73 perfect?

“The best number is 73,” Cooper explained in the episode. “Why? 73 is the 21st prime number. Its mirror, 37, is the 12th, and its mirror, 21, is the product of multiplying seven and three ... and in binary, 73 is a palindrome, 1001001, which backwards is 1001001.”

In about 200 BC the Greek Eratosthenes devised an algorithm for calculating primes called the Sieve of Eratosthenes.
