What does Mazal Tov mean?
Mazal Tov is often translated as “Good Luck”, and the phrase is frequently used to wish Congratulations. The popular blessing however, has a much deeper meaning. The Hebrew word “Mazal” comes from the idea of a “Nozlim” - a flow of good fortune from the heavens. The word “Tov” means “good”. So when we give a Mazal Tov card we are actually invoking a flow of positive, heavenly blessing, to the recipient of our words.
