mazel tov

Hebrew good wishes

Mazel tov is a Jewish expression of congratulations or good wishes, used at weddings, bar mitzvahs, and other celebrations.

From Hebrew and Yiddish meaning "good luck" or "good fortune," it marks happy occasions rather than wishing luck for the future: Mazel tov on the engagement!

Sometimes spelled mazal tov.
