pieces of advice

 I asked a friend for two pieces of advice he'd give new BTs. He said, 1) Be yourself. 2) Don't go to yeshiva. 

Good advice

Here's mine: 1) The goal is to connect to G-d via Torah and mitzvos. 2) As the Rebbe once told an Israeli politician about going to the UN (not that I fully agree with this assessment of the UN) Know that you are walking into a house of lies. By this I mean, watch out for con-artists. There's one under every rock in the OJ world.
