Don't call yourself ignorant!  I think it's wonderful that you've gone
back to studying Hebrew.  It is a remarkable language with lots of neat,
mystical hidden meanings.   Enjoy!  And once you're through the
prayerbook stuff (if that's what you're doing) make sure to take several
courses in conversational hebrew.   You'll be surprised what it does to
your teaching!  You'll remember words much better because they will have
meaning.  You'll be more comfortable singing in Hebrew because you will
pronounce words correctly and you will truly add to the lives of your
students and let them see that it is a living, breathing language, not
to mention so beautiful!

Kol means "everything" and Tuv is a Yiddishized "Tov" which means good.
