EXPLANATION OF THE GLOSSING SYSTEM
(to understand how I describe the signs in this translation).

Oseh shalom bimromav
LIKE GOD MAKE PEACE FAR-AWAY HEAVEN,

Hu ya'aseh shalom aleinu
PRAY HE MAKE PEACE FOR US HERE

V'al kol Yisrael
AND FOR (2h)#ALL JEWISH PEOPLE

V'imru, v'imru amen.
COME-ON SAY, COME-ON SAY AMEN.

||: Ya'aseh shalom, ya'aseh shalom
PRAY HE MAKE PEACE, PRAY HE MAKE PEACE.

Shalom aleinu v'al kol Yisrael.
PEACE FOR US HERE AND (2h)#ALL JEWISH PEOPLE. :||


Notes: FAR-AWAY - [1], twists while moving away with tongue shuttling from side to side. For a QuickTime file of this sign, see ASL Pro: Far.

HEAVEN - (2h)[B], POs down, FOs ><, hands are held high, circle around each other and then separate.

HE - Underlined words are honorific indices ("indexes"), using the FT of the upturned palm to indicate who is being honored.

(2h)#ALL - (2h)[A], POs ><, FOs up, move away while opening to (2h)[L].

COME-ON - (2h)[B^] move in circles pivoting at the wrists to beckon someone to do something.

AMEN - (2h)[B], FOs up, are pressed together and brought down in a long, deliberate motion. For an animated gif of this sign, see Animated dictionary of religious signs - Deaf Missions: Amen.

The signs between "||:" and ":||" are to be repeated.

Lyrics:

May he who makes peace in the heavens, grant peace and to all our people, and let us say amen.
