Spiritual Exercises for the Ten Days of Awe (Cajun)
I just want to say that the material is for a young congregation with many members who are new converts. For most of you it may seem "old hat" and presented simply, but it is what they can digest.
It does represent my style of teaching and leadership, however. I often refer to my theology as "meat and potato" theology which is ironic seeing as I'm a vegetarian! But we are far more interested in knowing how to practice ch'esed at home with our spouses than in how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. We want to know how to be good bosses, good workers, and good fathers. Seeing as we have many young talmidim, we tend to wade in the shallower, brighter waters of theology.

The teachings of your congregation are well balanced, brother. They set an excellent model for other congregations to follow.
