From the trendy fashions to the sharpened pencils to the crisp notebooks, everything is always new and fresh. This year, unlike past decades, there is a dra- matic rise in hiring teachers. At Style at the Jewish News, we decided to highlight some young, new educators. We gathered them in the library at Hillel Day School and on the grounds of the school (above) in Farmington Hills where associate editor Linda Bachrack and photographer Krista Husa captured their enthusiasm. I can relate to being a new teacher because I taught Spanish in the Southfield Public School system for six years. And now, many of my former students are my friends, neighbors and business associates. Teaching is an invigorating and reward- ing career. Artist Deborah Goldman's work fits well with this season. Her sculptures highlight the beauty of nature and much of her inspiration comes from the vibrant fall foliage. A treasure for all seasons is Linda Charfoos' Yamaski-designed home. Charfoos is president elect of the Michigan chapter of the American Society of Interior Designers and she maintains the integrity of this architectural gem while adapt- ing the furnishings. I look forward to our October issue and the fiery colors of the fall leaves. Sincerely, Carla
