When you’re writing a bar mitzvah card, you would say “Mazl tov.” That's the most common thing you would tell someone. “Mazl” is luck, and “tov” means good, so it translates to “good luck.” We say “mazl tov” at a bar mitzvah, at a wedding, and at a baby’s birth.

When you’re writing a Bar Mitzvah card, you could say “Mazel tov,” which is like saying “Congratulations” or “I’m wishing you success.” It’s nice to acknowledge they’re no longer a kid, and that they’re more responsible and mature. Even if they seem young, make them feel good about growing up and don’t treat them like a child.

If I end up being right, would it be wrong to tell them I knew?
