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 artist's skill with his
paints, we at MY Cleaners are more skilled
and achieve masterful results in dry cleaning.
One of the many reasons why knowledgeable
customers say "MY Cleaners is my cleaners."
Located on Northwestern Highway
at 12 Mile Rd.
Zionist forums and even, at the
turn of the century, a Hebrew
School for girls.
The one-time, mainly Jewish
North End is now Boston's Little
Italy. A refreshing pause at this
juncture in the walk offers — not
cawfee 'n bagel, but cafe latte and
biscotti. And thence to the West
End, the next and now-no-more
Jewish neighborhood.
Several existing buildings in
the West End recall the develop-
ment of that area, as the center
of Jewish population shifted here
from the North End. Most sig-
nificant is the Vilna Shul on '
Phillips St., for which plans have
been made to restore the struc-
ture as a cultural center and mu-
seum of Boston Jewish history.
The Vilna Shul was one of sev-
eral West End synagogues which
were originally black churches,
reflecting a reversal of demo-
graphic changes — in this in-
stance, the departure of (-\
congregants from such places of
worship as the Twelfth (Colored)
Baptist Church when, in the
words of a church elder, "The He-
brew children in the district were
multiplying at the same rate as
in Goshen when Joseph ruled
Egypt."
More recently, there has been
the reversal of a reversal in the
old West End: the African Meet-
ing House, the historic church of
Boston's African American com-
munity since 1806, was sold to
Congregation Anshe Libavitz in
1902. Decades later, that con-
gregation sold the building back
to the black community, and it
now functions as the Museum of
the African American Heritage.
Sightseeing within Boston is
not confined to the North or West -
Ends. In the heart of the finan-
cial district is the new head-
quarters of CJP. The nine-story,
red brick building at 126 High is
a notable addition to the down-
town cityscape.
Visitors to 126 High might well
look up to the scaffolding sus-
pended in front of the building,
to greet the artist working there. c'
Painstakingly incising Hebrew
letters into the stone facade is
Douglas Coffin. A native of
Belfast, Maine, where he plays
the lead role of Tevye in a pro-
duction ofFiddler on the Roof, de-
vout churchgoer Coffin is
learning Hebrew. "All the better
for accurate carving," he says.
The passage Coffin is laboring
over is from Pirke Avot 1:2 —
"The world stands on three
things: on Torah, on the service
of God and on the acts of lov-
ingkindness."
Around the corner and in full
view of the CJP building is Postal
Square Park, one of the many,
unexpected gems of greensward
and gardlandry that adorn
doowntown Boston. At one cor-
ner of the park is the glass-and- (
steel kiosk of the Milk Street
Cafe, the city's only kosher
