Latest Question & Answer

Question
When one wishes Mazel Tov or "you should have hatzlacha" or a plain "Hatzlacha" or any of these seemingly "brachos" does it mean anything more than the person just offering chizuk and good wishes? In other words, does anything happen Upstairs because of it?

Answer
These phrases are generally intended as Brachos or as prayer. As such, they can be effective.
