Mazal Tov Postcard - Jewish Rabbi

This is a funny cartoon Jewish Rabbi greeting: "Mazel Tov" The rabbi is dressed in formal orthodox jewish clothes and hat. He has a long white beard and Peyes Sidecurls, worn by some religious jews. Mazel Tov is an Hebrew (and Yiddish) phrase that is used to express "congratulations" for a happy and significant occasion or event.Like many words, in Hebrew the emphasis is on the second syllable, whereas in Yiddish it is on the first one So it is mazal in Hebrew and mazel in Yiddish. Although mazel tov literally translates to "good luck", the phrase is not used in the way that the expression "good luck" is used in English (typically as "I wish you good luck"). It rather means "good luck has occurred" or "your fortune has been good" and is an acknowledgement of this. 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!". With this greeting card, your Jewish friends are surely going to have a Mazal Tov
