Rabbinic Prayer: Praise be Thou, O lord, who did not make me a gentile. Praise be Thou, O Lord, who did not make me a boor; Praise be Thou, O Lord, who did not make me a woman. ~ The Tosefta Berakot 7.18 The Greek male was taught to be grateful: “that I am born a human being and not a beat, next a man and not a woman, thirdly, a Greek and not a barbarian.”

34 Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says. 35 If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church. 1 Corinthians 14:34-35 | NIV

8 Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or disputing. 9 I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves, not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, 10 but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God. 11 A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. 12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet. 13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner. 15 But women will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety. 1 Timothy 2:8-15 | NIV

☐ 1. Males should pray with their hands lifted. (2:8) ☐ 2. Males should pray without anger or disputing. (2:8) ☐ 3. Women should dress modestly. (2:9) ☐ 4. Women should not have elaborate hairstyles of wear gold or pearls or expensive clothing. (2:9)
