What is Kibitzing?
Kibitzing is the art of chatter, making random conversation. It’s a Yiddish word without a literal English translation. While it’s often thought of as meddlesome, here at Kibitz Spot it is a bit of Jewish fun. That’s all. It’s not political, religious, or intended in any way to offend anyone. Just to kibitz.
