Schlemiel
Definition: Slang for a useless, ineffective individual. Schleimel can be used to describe
your good-for-nothing little brother or worthless neighbor. The Hebrew word it is derived
from means "my well-being is God" . . . how does that make sense?
Example: 'Johnny, clean up your room now, you little schemiel! I can't even see what
color the carpet is!"
Atara Lakritz, 15, is a sophomore at the Frankel Jewish Academy in West Bloomfield.

Halloweeen Divas at Teen Scream
North Farmington High School. "We must set high standards for genera-
tions to follow in order to make a difference. I wear shirts with empowering
eco-friendly messages all the time; it makes me feel like I am doing some-
thing to promote awareness in society today"
Recently, Levi Strauss created a new collection called Levi's Eco. This
line is not so much about donating proceeds to a cause, but more about
helping our environment. The line includes great-fitting jeans, comfy T-
shirts and other items, all made from 100 percent organic fabrics and natu-
ral dyes — even the price tag is made from recycled materials.
With all these options, now there's no excuse not
to show your concern and make a difference.
Shaye Winer, 16, is a junior at West Bloomfield High
School. Lauren Lewis, 15, is a sophomore at Bloom-
field Hills Andover.
