Singing & Signing "Some Children See Him"

I sing this Christmas song and simultaneously express it in signs from ASL (American Sign Language). I purposely adapted some of the hand-shapes to create sign-rhymes. While no song that is simultaneously sung and signed is truly ASL, I do hope that I have created something here that can be enjoyed by both hearing and deaf people. I also believe that people of all faiths can appreciate the hope that each newborn child brings: that he or she may help to heal this world.

  1. Hi Daniel, I have a completely non-holiday related question for you. I’m getting married next October, and have one guest that will be deaf. Do you know of any interpreters in south Florida that may know some Jewish religious signs?

What do you think?
