I often hear religious people saying the phrase ‘Kol tuv’ - May everything be good by you.

Is there any history behind the wide usage in religious communities, other than it being said in Hebrew?

    First pasuk of shelishi of Chayei Sarah – Heshy May 11 '20 at 21:12
  • @Heshy That only proves it's Hebrew, no? – Dr. Shmuel May 11 '20 at 21:31
  • Yeah it wasn't intended to be a full answer. But "tuv" as opposed to "tov" is weird. There it's samuch to אדניו, in the popular saying it's not explicitly samuch to anything. I assume that pasuk is the source. – Heshy May 11 '20 at 21:39
  • @Heshy Ah, I concur. – Dr. Shmuel May 11 '20 at 21:41

    @Binyomin He's asking if it's a religious phrase. If the answers to any of your questions help answer that, one can provide that info in an answer. – Double AA♦ May 12 '20 at 12:02
