You ROCK

Mazel Tov (MAH-zl TAWV) Yiddish/Hebrew.
Literally, good luck. This is the traditional way of expressing congratulations.
“Mazel tov!” is the correct and traditional response upon hearing that a person has gotten engaged or married, has had a child, or has become a bar mitzvah. It can be used to congratulate someone for getting a new job, graduating from college, or any other happy event, such as being the numbner 1 site in a Google search!
Note that this term is not used in the way that the expression “good luck” is used in English; that is, it should not be used to wish someone luck in the future. Rather, it is an expression of pleasure at the good luck someone has already had (we don’t want to attract the ‘evil eye’, kain ein horeh, do we?).

I wasn’t googling for PETA. I found it in my referral logs.

SallyT … Thanks for your kind comment. I didn’t know if anyone read the monthly Electric City Journal (previously known as the Shop Hopper).
