The Hebrew phrase mazel tov ( also spelled mazal tov, or mazel tof ) literally translated means “good luck.” In practice, mazel tov is usually said to mean “Congratulations!” In modern Israeli pronunciation, it is said with the accent on the second syllable: ma-ZAL tove. In Yiddish and Ashkenazi pronunciation, the accent comes on the first syllable: MA-zel tof.One can expect to hear people shout “mazel tov” at celebrations like Jewish weddings just after the glass is broken, at brit milah (bris)
