Kumzits (קומזיץ) is a compound-word in Hebrew derived from the Yiddish words קום (come) and זיץ (sit). The word is used to describe an evening gathering that Jews partake in. Everyone sits together be it on the floor or on chairs and sings spiritually moving songs. In order to establish a certain ambiance the lighting is often low and candles are primarily used or if taking place outdoors it is usually around a campfire.
