Mazal tov!

Mazel tov to you and all the family. The timing couldn't have been better, in so many ways.

If you want tips on how to spoil a niece rotten, just ask.

Congratulations! And... Mazel... tov? (What does that mean?)

Mazel Tov

[dragonbear82]

translated from hebrew litterally it means good luck. Mazel means luck and tov means good (hebrew like french and some other languages places adjectives after the noun they modify). In reality it's really an idiom and more along the lines of congratulations and best wishes for the future. That's why it's said primarily at milestones in a person's life. i.e. an engagement, wedding, or birth of a child.
