" Mazel tov " (Yiddish: מזל טוב, romanized: mázl tov) or " mazal tov " (Hebrew: מזל טוב, romanized: mazál tov; lit. "good fortune") is a Jewish phrase used to express congratulations for a happy and significant occasion or event.
“Mazel tov” is one of the more familiar Jewish phrases that has been adopted in America. But unless you attended Hebrew School, do you have any idea what it means? Often confused for a toast, “mazel tov” is an upbeat way to wish someone congratulations or good luck.

Mazel tov is an appropriate response to any good news, from an engagement to a graduation, a new job, a new house, or any other honor or milestone. In modern Israeli Hebrew, it is common to congratulate people on their birthday using this phrase.

Mazal tov literally means “good luck,” but Jews use it pretty much the same way that English-speakers use the word “congratulations.”
The Hebrew word mazel means “a drip from above” or “an alignment of stars,” referring to the fact that everyone is born under an astrological field. In fact, the Zodiac signs in Hebrew are called “ mazalot.” Our mazel, our luck, is determined when we are born.
