A group of Miami Jewish communal leaders has formed a committee to raise a fund of $100, 000 to construct and maintain in Tel Aviv, a building to house archives on Sholem Aleichem. The building, to be known as Beit Sholom Aleichem, will contain the unfinished manuscripts as well as historical material related to the popular Jewish writer’s life and works.
The Miami committee, which is headed by Harry Simonhoff, M. Chomitz and J. Morgenstern, expects to develop its group into a national committee with a national chairman to be elected by the central body to be formed.
