OrthJBC - I Corinthians - 11

11:1  Become imitators of me as I also am an imitator of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach. IN VIEW OF THE TURNING OF THE AGES, AND AS WE LIVE TOGETHER IN THE DAWN OF THE OLAM HABAH, THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ZACHAR NOR NEKEVAH (MALE AND FEMALE--GAL.3:28); HOWEVER, YOU CORINTHIANS HAVE GONE TOO FAR, OFFENDING OUTSIDERS AND SHOCKING MALACHIM AND THROWING THE CHAIN OF COMMAND OF HASHEM'S AUTHORITY INTO ANARCHY; THE NASHIM (WOMEN) SHOULD NOT BE APPEARING IN SHUL BEGILE ROSH (WITH HEAD UNCOVERED) AND THE BA'AL SHOULD NOT BE APPEARING IN SHUL WITH THE ISHA'S VEIL OR THE SNOOD "HANGING DOWN" (11:4)! IF THE KOHEN GADOL CAN WEAR A MITZNEFET (TURBAN--SHEMOT 28:4) IN THE BEIS HAMIKDASH, YEHUDIM CAN SURELY WEAR A KIPPAH OR A YARMULKE, EVEN A SHTREIMEL (FUR HAT) TO SHUL, NOT ONLY ON SHABBOS, BUT EVERYDAY. BUT NOT A SNOOD! AND FOR THE ISHA, THE SHEYTL IS NOT SUFFICIENT; ASK YOUR BA'AL (HUSBAND) TO STOP WEARING YOUR SNOOD AND, PLEASE! YOU MUST PUT YOUR SNOOD BACK ON IN SHUL! YOUR HAIR IS THE CROWN OF YOUR BEAUTY AND EROTIC SEXUALITY (SHIR HASHIRIM 4:1), AND FOR YOU TO EXPOSE IT IN SHUL AND AROUSE THE YETZER HARA OF THE BNEI ADAM, ESPECIALLY IN THE PRESENCE OF HOLY MALACHIM, IS PUTTING THE OYBERSHTER (THE L-RD) TO THE TEST! IF YOU ARE GOING TO EXPOSE YOURSELF LIKE THIS, YOU MIGHT AS WELL HAVE YOUR HEAD SHAVED BALD AND APPEAR LIKE THAT IN SHUL, WHICH IS WHAT THE GOYIM DO WHEN THEY ARE IN MOURNING AND IS FORBIDDEN MINHAG (CUSTOM--VAYIKRA 21:5)! NOW YOU GOYIM WHO ARE TRYING TO START A NEW MINHAG IN SHUL OF THE HUSBAND WEARING HIS WIFE'S SNOOD HANGING DOWN AND THE WOMAN APPEARING IN SHUL WITHOUT THE SNOOD COVERING HER HAIR, WE HAVE NO SUCH MINHAG AS YOU GOYIM ARE TRYING TO ESTABLISH AT THE CORINTHIAN KEHILLAH, NOR DO ANY OF THE OTHER KEHILLOT OF REBBE, MELECH HAMOSHIACH THROUGHOUT THE OLAM HAZEH HAVE SUCH A MINHAG

11:2  Now, 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.

11:3  But 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) [Bereshis 3:16], and the rosh of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach is Hashem. [Bereshis 3:16]

11:4  Every ben Adam davening or speaking forth a nevu'ah (prophecy) having anything hanging down over his rosh brings bushah (shame) upon his rosh.

11:5  But 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. [Devarim 21:12]

11:6  For, 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.

11:7  For a ben Adam indeed ought not to be covered on the rosh, being the demut HASHEM (Bereshis 1:26) and the kavod Hashem, and the Isha being the kavod (glory), the glorious reflection of Adam. [Bereshis 1:26; 5:1; 9:6]

11:8  For Adam is not out of the Isha but Isha out of Adam (Man) [Bereshis 2:21-23].

11:9  Indeed, Adam was not created because of the Isha, but the Isha because of Adam (Man) [Bereshis 2:18].

11:10  Because of this, the Isha ought to have a kesut rosh (head covering) of marut (authority, discipline) on her rosh because of the malachim.

11:11  However, neither is Isha without Adam (Man) nor Adam (Man) without Isha in Hashem.

11:12  For just as the Isha comes out of Adam (Man) [Bereshis 2:21-23], so also the ben Adam (Man) comes through the Isha [Bereshis 3:15-16] but all things are of Hashem [Bereshis 1:1; Tehillim 24:1; 50:12; 89:11].

11:13  You yourselves be the dayan [of the Bet Din]: is it fitting for an isha to offer tefillos to Hashem [in shul] begile rosh (with head uncovered)?

11:14  Does not teva (nature) herself give you the shiur (lesson) that if a ben Adam wears a long hair-do of a lady's coiffure, it is a dishonor to him?

11:15  But if an isha wears a long hair-do of a lady's coiffure, it is her kavod (Shir haShirim 4:1)? Because the long hair has been given to her instead of the sterntichel (kerchiek) or kesut rosh (head covering).

11:16  But if anyone presumes in his thinking to be contentious, we have no such minhag, nor do the kehillot of Hashem [throughout the world]. THE SEUDAH OF REBBE, MELECH HAMOSHIACH ABUSED

11:17  But in giving the divrei Torah that follows I give no commendation (11:2), because when you assemble as the shul of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, it is not for the better that you assemble, but for the worse.

11:18  Ershtins (first of all), indeed when you come together as the kehillah (Shemot 12:6) (I hear) there exist machalokot (divisions--1:10) and schisms among you, and partly I believe it.

11:19  For, 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 (Devarim 13:3).

11:20  Therefore, your farbrengen gatherings in one kahal (community) are not for the purpose of having Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach's Tish.

11:21  For each one rushes ahead with his own seudah (meal): one is hungerik (hungry), one has passed out in his schnapps.

11:22  Hey, 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! THE KIDDUSH AND THE HA-MOTZI OF THE SEUDES OF REBBE, MELECH HAMOSHIACH IN THE KEHILLAH; THE HALACHA THAT I RECEIVED FROM MOSHIACH ADONEINU, MOREINU, V'RABBEINU (OUR L-RD, TEACHER AND MASTER) AND THE INSTITUTION OF REBBE, MELECH HAMOSHIACH'S TISH: THE PESACH MATZAH BECOMES THE KORBAN PESACH GUF (BODY) OF MOSHIACH'S BASAR (TEHILLIM 16:9-10; YESHAYAH 52:13-53:12); "ZAVACHTI, I [REBBE, MELECH HAMOSHIACH] PREPARE SACRIFICE" FOR A DEVEKUT COMMUNION ZEVACH (SACRIFICE) FOR YOU (MOSHIACH'S TALMIDIM) (11:24); WHEN THE KOS SHEL BERACHA (CUP OF WINE) IS RAISED WE ARE TO HAVE ZIKARON (REMEMBRANCE) OF THE CHURBAN OF THE BRIT CHADASHA BEIS HAMIKDASH, WHEN REBBE, MELECH HAMOSHIACH BECAME THE KORBAN PESACH OF THE GEULAH

11:23  For 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 matzah,

11:24  and, having made the ha-Motzi, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach offered the betzi'at halechem (breaking of the bread) and said, "This is my guf (body) [which ZAVACHTI (I prepare korban sacrifice)] on behalf of you. This do in zikaron (remembrance) of Me."

11:25  In like manner, after eating the Pesach seudah, also [after the beracha over] the [Kiddush] Cup, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said, "This [Kiddush] Kos (Cup) is the BRIT CHADASHA [SHEMOT 24:8; YIRMEYAH 31:31; 32:40] in my DAHM (blood--SHEMOT 24:6-8; ZECHARYAH 9:11); this do, as often as you drink, in ZIKARON (remembrance--YEHOSHUA 4:7) of me."

11:26  For as often as you eat this Pesach matzah and drink from this Pesach Kiddush Cup, you do proclaim the mavet [Yeshayah 53:8-9; Daniel 9:26] of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu until the Bias HaMoshiach. NEED FOR CHESHBON HANEFESH (MORAL STOCK-TAKING--SHEMOT 12:19; I COR.5:7-8 [OJBC]) AND TESHUVA BEFORE WE COME TO THE REBBE, MELECH HAMOSHIACH'S SEDER OF THE BRIT CHADASHA IN ORDER TO AVOID UNWORTHY PARTAKING AND COVENANTAL REPRISAL (THOSE WITHOUT MOSHIACH'S BRIS MILAH OF KEDUSHA AND HITKHADESHUT ARE FROM HIS TISH EXCLUDED WITH THE HEATHEN, WHO WILL BE JUDGED--SHEMOT 12:48; COL.2:11-12; JOH.3:3,7); DISCERN THE KORBAN PESACH GUF (BODY) OF REBBE, MELECH HAMOSHIACH AND FALL ON YOUR FACE IN TESHUVA NOW BEFORE YOUR OWN GUF (BODY) IS STREWN IN THE MIDBAR (I COR.10:5)

11:27  Therefore, whoever eats the Pesach matzah or drinks the Kiddush cup of [Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach] Adoneinu unworthily will be guilty and answerable for the guf (body) and the dahm of [Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach] Adoneinu.

11:28  But let a Ben Adam apply cheshbon hanefesh to himself and in that manner let him eat of the Pesach matzah and let him drink of the Pesach Kiddush cup.

11:29  For the one eating and drinking is the one eating and drinking mishpat to himself when not discerning the guf (body).

11:30  Because of this, many among you are weak and cholim (sick) and a number are sleeping the sleep of the mesim.

11:31  But if we were judging ourselves [in teshuvah], we would not be brought into mishpat (din (judgment). [Tehillim 32:5]

11:32  But, being brought into mishpat (din (judgment)) by Hashem, we are being disciplined, that we may not be condemned [to Onesh Gehinnom] with the Olam Hazeh. [Tehillim 115:5; 118:18; Mishle 3:11,12]

11:33  Therefore, Achim b'Moshiach of mine, when you have your farbrengen gatherings and you gather for tish, wait for one another.

11:34  If anyone is so hungerik (hungry--11:21) [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).
