Recognition with a little more weight.
Tell someone they mattered. Then back it up with a good deed in their honor.
Good for you. Good for them. Good for the world.
Three wins.
Three simple ways to send it.
Why send Mazels instead of just saying it?
Sometimes a text is enough. Sometimes you want the congratulations to land a little harder. A Mazels gives the recognition something tangible — a message or graphic they can actually receive — and every Mazels includes a $1.80 charitable contribution in their honor.
They did something worth celebrating. You say Mazels. We made it something you can send.
What does “Mazels” mean?
Mazels is casual slang for a big congratulations — faster, looser and more expressive than a formal greeting. It’s what you say when somebody nailed it, showed up, pulled something off, did something kind or simply deserves serious props.
How do you use “Mazels”?
Use it the way you’d use congrats, props or well done — except Mazels carries a little more personality. It can celebrate a win, recognize an effort, thank somebody who showed up, or give someone a boost when they need it.
Where does the word come from?
Mazel is associated with congratulations and good fortune. Mazels takes that familiar idea and turns it into casual, everyday slang: a quick way to send some good somebody’s way.
Mazel, mazalot and the stars
The older meaning of mazel reaches back to the stars. The Jewish English Lexicon records a biblical sense of mazal as a constellation or astrological sign, and lists mazalot as the plural term for constellations, zodiac signs and astrology. Over time, the idea of a “sign” became associated with fate, fortune and luck.
That history also helps explain the familiar phrase siman tov u’mazal tov: Reform Judaism notes that it can be understood in the older sense of being under a good sign or constellation.
