The entire collected works of Sholem Aleichem, in Yiddish, consisting of 16 volumes, are being recorded for the blind on long-playing high fidelity discs by the Jewish Braille Institute of America, it was announced here by Mrs. Harry. J. Finke, president of the organization.

Made possible through a grant from the Morris Morgenstern Foundation, the project will take several years to complete and, it is estimated, will require approximately 225 records with a total of 450 sides.
