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

||: (3x) WE WISH (2h)YOU HAVE PEACE. :|| SHALOM, SHALOM, WE OFFER (2h)YOU.

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

(2h)YOU - Underlined words are honorific indices ("indexes"), using the FT of the upturned palm to indicate who is being honored.

SHALOM - Interlock (2h)[C] with thumbs against hands like an opera singer and hold at waist.

Lyrics:

Hebrew: ||: (3x) Hevenu shalom aleichem. :|| Hevenu shalom, shalom, shalom aleichem.
