The Art of Dry Cleaning:

Dry cleaning is the use of non-water based
(hence dry) liquids to remove soil and stains
from fabrics. All dry cleaners have access to
the same liquids but not all are as skillful in
their use. Like a master artists' skill with his
paints, we at MY Cleaners are more skilled and
achieve masterful results in dry cleaning.

obert Maurice Bloom
wears a yarmulke.
His mother says he is
strongly pro-Israel and loves
nothing better than to
discuss Torah.
He cannot attend services,
though, and his oppor-
tunities to discuss Torah,
politics or anything else are
rare.
Robert Maurice Bloom is
on death row.
For eight years, Melanie
Bloom has been living a
mother's nightmare — ever
since she learned that her
18-year-old son had killed
his father, his stepmother
and his young stepsister.
"It really feels like bricks
crashing down on your
head," she says.
These days, Melanie Bloom
is throwing all her energy
into saving her son's life.
She meets lawyers,
discusses appeals, and
champions efforts to abolish
the death penalty — efforts
that recently heated up be-
cause of the impending ex-
ecution of Robert Alton
Harris.
If those efforts fail, Harris
will be the first person exec-
uted in California's gas
chamber in 23 years, and,
Melanie Bloom says,
"They're lined up like
dominoes behind him."
Bloom's May 29 execution
date was postponed by appeal,
and more appeals are
expected.
To help promote her cause,
Melanie Bloom's car carries
three identical anti-capital
punishment btnnper
stickers, and she's also
planning to be in Florida
this week to march against
the death penalty.
"The Southern states
started all this capital
punishment stuff up,"
Melanie Bloom, a daughter
of the South, asserts. "I don't
care if it's one man or 50, it
doesn't solve the problem.
Men will continue to
murder. They have from the
beginning of the Torah.
Even Moses murdered. What
I want to get across is that
we must be positive; we
must start with ourself."
As often as she can,
Melanie Bloom, a resident of
Southern California, stands
outside San Quentin holding
a sign that says "Jews
Against the Death Penalty"
or "No Gas Chamber for
Jews." ❑
