God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
The would-be counselor should have some basic knowledge of human psychology, normal and abnormal. He must be a good listener, slow to interrupt, until he feels sure that he has something worthwhile to contribute, some helpful question to ask. The counselor should be genuinely humble and receptive, with an objective approach to the problem under discussion, and he should avoid all well worn clichés, truisms and easy slick solutions. He is not there to sermonize or to moralize – certainly not till he has heard all that the enquirer has to say, and he must avoid a holier-than-thou attitude. Further, he should not show shocked surprise, disapproval or condemnation.

INSTRUCTIONS
Throughout the Middle East, bureks are made by folding buttered,
cheese-filled phyllo dough into little triangular shapes. Cigarro bureks
taste the same but, as the name implies, are rolled into cylindrical shapes
resembling small cigars. Bureks, frozen unbaked, can go directly from the
freezer into a preheated 375 F oven to make an instant hors d'oeuvre.
Makes 40
Defrost the phyllo dough and return the remainder to the freezer. Butter a
cookie sheet. Melt the butter and remove from the heat.
Preheat the oven to 375F.
Mix the feta and cream cheese with the egg and herbs and set aside.
Layout one sheet of phyllo dough on a counter. (Keep the remaining dough
covered with a slightly damp towel to prevent its drying out.) Brush the
sheet of dough with some melted butter. Cut it the short way into 5 strips,
about 3x10 inches each. Place 1 1/2 teaspoons of the filling at one end of
each strip. Roll the strips into cylinders about 1/2 inch in diameter.
Continue until all of the dough has been cut, filled, and rolled.
Arrange 2 to 3 cylinder per person on the cookie sheet and brush them with
more butter. (Freeze the rest of the cylinders, unbaked, for use at
another time.) Bake for about 10 minutes, or until the cylinders are well
browned and very flaky.
