Carved Wood Mazel Tov Poster

Features a computer-generated "old wood carving" of a Magen David (Star of David), Hebrew text reading "Mazel Tov," and a floral border. Add your own text. I can also modify this image to include "carved wooden" text in Hebrew or English. While mazel tov literally translates as "good luck," as used by Jews it means "good luck has occurred" or "your fortune has been good" and is an acknowledgment of this fact (i.e. "lucky you"). The phrase "mazel tov!" parallels the use of the phrase "congratulations!" and conveys roughly that "I am pleased this good thing has happened to you!" While the Yiddish pronunciation of mazel has the stress on the first syllable, the modern Hebrew word "mazal" has the stress on the last syllable, as is standard in modern Hebrew.
