az = that
uch is a synonym of vay.
The words are phrased together. The best definition I can give is that it expresses a more dramatic “Oy vay”

@hannah: Thanks for the correction. What’s the literal meaning of the translation? I understand the sense of the phrase & how it’s used in conversation & I know vay means pain or suffering.

Correction – A Zochen Vay.
Last I know, my zochen (zuken) are in the dirty laundry.
Az, Uch un Vey is the correct phrase.
What did you think “A Zochen Vay” means?

Seems like I touched a raw nerve, sorry about that.
Just answer this, do you think the terrorists would’ve spared you, a Jew, because you stand for peace?
Perhaps you will choose not to answer because this is completely rhetorical. You know very well that these terrorists are blood-thirsty murderers and the only thought they give before murdering another, is how to execute their plans.

@hannah: Oh, you mean calling me a “self-hating, unproud Jew” was a serious comment worthy of response? Shoot, I thought it was just a cheap shot, low blow overused insult common to the militant pro-Israel crowd. I didn’t realize you actually expected me to engage with your narischkeit.

Next time you actually want to make a substantive argument that has some real content I might actually do so.

You avoided the points I made. Not surprised….

@hannah: Thanks for showing my readers exactly what we’re all up against in fighting for peace, justice, tolerance & ethnic-understanding in the Middle East.

I’ll tell you what, I’ll get my blog off the internet if you promise not to darken the web ever again with your own nasty rantings.

You’re obviously a self-hating, unproud Jew. If you were in the Habad house at the time of the attack, the terrorists would’ve tortured and murdered you just as well. They wouldn’t have paused and said, “Let’s let Richard go free – he is a peace-loving man….”

And, if you want to save a place in your heart for Moshe Holtzberg, get your ridiculous blog off the internet. Do some introspection and see what’s stopping you from being a proud Jew.
