1 Corinthians 11
11
1Become imitators of me as I also am an imitator of Moshiach.#11:1 see Ac 21:18-26
2Now, I commend you that in all things you have remembered me and you hold fast to the masoret torat haShlichim just as I transmitted and handed them over to you.#11:2 see Yd 1:3
3But I want you to have da'as that Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach is the rosh (head) of every one of the Bnei Adam, and the rosh of an isha is the ben Adam (Man, Ba'al),#11:3 Gn 3:16 and the rosh of Moshiach is Hashem.#11:3 Gn 3:16
4Every ben Adam davening or speaking forth a nevu'ah (prophecy) having anything hanging down over his rosh brings bushah (shame) upon his rosh.
5But every isha davening or speaking forth a nevu'ah (prophecy) in shul, begile rosh (with head uncovered), brings bushah (shame) upon her rosh, for it is one and the same thing to uncover the rosh as it is for the rosh of the isha having been shaved.#11:5 Dt 21:12
6For, if an isha is not covered, also let her be shorn. But als (since) it is in fact a thing of bushah (shame) for an isha to be shorn or to be shaved, let her be covered.
7For a ben Adam indeed ought not to be covered on the rosh, being the demut HASHEM#11:7 Gn 1:26 and the kavod Hashem, and the Isha being the kavod (glory), the glorious reflection of Adam.#11:7 Gn 1:26; 5:1; 9:6
8For Adam is not out of the Isha but Isha out of Adam (Man).#11:8 Gn 2:21-23
9Indeed, Adam was not created because of the Isha, but the Isha because of Adam (Man).#11:9 Gn 2:18
10Because of this, the Isha ought to have a kesut rosh (head covering) of marut (authority, discipline) on her rosh because of the malachim.
11However, neither is Isha without Adam (Man) nor Adam (Man) without Isha in Hashem.
12For just as the Isha comes out of Adam (Man),#11:12 Gn 2:21-23 so also the ben Adam (Man) comes through the Isha#11:12 Gn 3:15-16 but all things are of Hashem.#11:12 Gn 1:1; Ps 24:1; 50:12; 89:11
13You yourselves be the dayan (judge): is it fitting for an isha to offer tefillos to Hashem#11:13 in shul begile rosh (with head uncovered)?
14Does not teva (nature) itself give you the shiur (lesson) that if a ben Adam wears a long hair-do of a ladyʼs coiffure, it is a dishonor to him?
15But if an isha wears a long hairdo of a ladyʼs coiffure, it is her kavod?#11:15 Song 4:1 Because the long hair has been given to her instead of the sterntichel (kerchief) or kesut rosh (head covering).
16But if anyone presumes in his thinking to be contentious, we have no such minhag, nor do the kehillot of Hashem.#11:16 throughout the world
17But in giving the divrei Torah that follows I give no commendation,#11:17 11:2 because when you assemble as the shul of Moshiach, it is not for the better that you assemble, but for the worse.
18Ershtins (first of all), indeed when you come together as the kehillah#11:18 Ex 12:6 I hear there exist machlokot#11:18 1C 1:10 (divisions) and schisms among you, and partly I believe it.
19For it is necessary also for kitot (sects) of minut (heresy), of kefirah (heresy, denial) to be among you that also the approved ones may become manifest among you.#11:19 Dt 13:3
20Therefore, your farbrengen gatherings in one kahal (community) are not for the purpose of having Moshiachʼs Tish.
21For each one rushes ahead with his own seudah (meal). One is hungerik (hungry), one has passed out in his schnapps.
22Hey, you people, do you not have houses in which to eat and to drink? Or do you despise the Kehillah (congregation) of G-d? And do you bring bushah (shame), even humiliation, on the ones having nothing? What should I say to you? Will I commend you? In this I do not commend you people!
23For I received from Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu that which also I transmitted and handed on to you, that Adoneinu Yehoshua, on the very lailah (night) in which he was betrayed, took the Pesach matzoh,
24And, having made the HaMotzi, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach offered the betzi'at halechem (breaking of the bread) and said, ZEH HU VESARI HANNIVTZA BA'ADCHEM; ZOT ASU L'ZIKRONI. (This is my flesh, which is broken on your behalf. Do this in memory of me.)
25In like manner, after eating the [Pesach] seudah, also [after the bracha over] the [Kiddush] Cup, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said, This#11:25 Kiddush Kos (Cup) is the BRIT CHADASHA#11:25 Jer 31:31; 32:40 in my DAHM (blood).#11:25 Ex 24:6-8; Zech 9:11 This do, as often as you drink, in ZIKARON#11:25 Josh 4:7 (remembrance) of me.
26For as often as you eat this Pesach matzoh and drink from this Pesach Kiddush Cup, you do proclaim the mavet#11:26 Isa 53:8-9; Dan 9:26 of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu until the Bias HaMoshiach.
27Therefore, whoever eats the Pesach matzoh or drinks the Kiddush Cup of#11:27 Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu unworthily will be guilty and answerable for the basar and the dahm of#11:27 Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu.
28But let a ben Adam apply cheshbon hanefesh to himself and in that manner let him eat of the Pesach matzoh and let him drink of the Pesach Kiddush Cup.
29For the one eating and drinking is the one eating and drinking mishpat to himself when not discerning the basar (body).
30Because of this, many among you are weak and there are cholim (sick) and a number are sleeping the sleep of the mesim.
31But if we were judging ourselves,#11:31 in teshuva we would not be brought into mishpat (judgment).#11:31 Ps 32:5
32But, being brought into mishpat (judgment) by Hashem, we are being disciplined, that we may not be condemned#11:32 to Onesh Gehinnom with the Olam Hazeh.#11:32 Ps 115:5; 118:18; Prov 3:11,12
33Therefore, Achim b'Moshiach of mine, when you have your farbrengen gatherings and you gather for Tish, wait for one another.
34If anyone is so hungerik#11:34 1C 11:21 (hungry) [that he cannot wait], in his home let him eat, lest for mishpat you have kehillah. And as far as the hemshech (remaining part) is concerned, whenever I come I will set b'seder (in order).

1 Corinthians 11
11
1Follow my example, just as I follow the example of Christ.
The Report About Head Coverings
2I commend you for remembering what I taught you and for staying true to exactly what I passed on to you. 3But I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ, the head of the woman is the man, and the head of Christ is God. 4Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head. 5But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head. It’s the same as having her head shaved. 6If a woman doesn’t cover her head, she might as well have her hair cut off. But if it’s a disgrace for her to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, then she should cover her head.
7A man shouldn’t cover his head, since he’s the likeness and glory of God. But woman is the glory of man. 8Man didn’t come from woman, but woman came from man. 9Also, man wasn’t created for woman, but woman was created for man. 10That’s why a woman should have authority over her own head, because of the angels. 11But here’s how things are for those who belong to the Lord. Woman isn’t independent of man, and man isn’t independent of woman. 12Though woman first came from man, now man is born from woman. And everything comes from God.
13You be the judge. Is it proper for a woman to pray to God without covering her head? 14Doesn’t the very nature of things teach you that if a man has long hair, that’s disgraceful to him, 15but that if a woman has long hair, that’s her glory? Long hair is given to her as a covering. 16If anyone wants to argue about this, let me simply say that we don’t have any other practice, and none of God’s churches do either.
The Report About Selfishness at the Lord’s Supper
17In the following matters, I don’t commend you, because your meetings are doing more harm than good. 18First, here’s what people are telling me. When you get together as a church, you split up into opposing groups. And in some ways, I believe that, 19because those of you who are genuine are bound to stand out as different! 20But when you come together, it’s not the Lord’s Supper that you’re eating. 21As you eat, some of you go ahead and eat your own private meals. Because of this, one person doesn’t get enough to eat, while another gets drunk. 22Don’t you have your own homes to eat and drink in? Or do you think so little of God’s church that you’re prepared to humiliate those who have nothing? What should I say to you? Should I praise you? Certainly not about this!
23I passed on to you what I received from the Lord. On the night the Lord Jesus was handed over to his enemies, he took bread, 24and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body, given for you. Every time you eat it, do this in memory of me.” 25In the same way, he took the cup after supper and said, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Every time you drink it, do this in memory of me.” 26Whenever you eat the bread and drink the cup, you’re announcing the Lord’s death until he comes again.
27So eat the bread and drink the cup of the Lord in the right way. Don’t do it in a way that isn’t worthy of him. If you do, you’ll be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord. 28Everyone should examine themselves carefully before they eat the bread and drink from the cup. 29Whoever eats and drinks must recognize the body of Christ. If they don’t, they’ll bring judgment upon themselves. 30That’s why many of you are weak and sick, and a number of you have died. 31We should think more carefully about what we’re doing. Then we wouldn’t be found guilty for this. 32Still, when the Lord judges us in this way, he’s correcting us so that we won’t be judged in the end along with the rest of the world.
33My brothers and sisters, when you meet for the Lord’s Supper, you should all eat together. 34Anyone who’s hungry should eat something at home first. That way, when you meet together, you won’t be judged.
When I come, I’ll give you more directions.
