Sign the word “Israel” by using the American Sign Language (ASL) fingerspelling method, where you spell out each letter with your dominant hand. Start with the letter “I” by pointing your index finger straight up, followed by making a fist with your hand and touching your thumb to your forehead for the letter “S”. For the letter “R”, hold your index and middle finger together and tap them against your shoulder, and finally for the letter “A” extend all five fingers of your hand and place it near your chest.
