What does Leshana tova tekatev mean in English?

"Leshana tova tekatev" (לשנה טובה תקת"ו) is a Hebrew phrase that means "A good year to you, may you be inscribed for a good year."

It's a traditional Jewish greeting used during Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, to wish someone a happy and prosperous year.

Here's a breakdown of the phrase:

* Leshana tova: "A good year"

* Tekatev: This part is an abbreviation for "tekatvu ve'hitkatvu" (תִּכָּתְבוּ וְהִתְכַּתְּבוּ), which means "may you be inscribed and sealed [in the Book of Life] for a good year."

So, the entire phrase expresses a heartfelt wish for a good year filled with blessings and good health.
