If "Aleichem" is functioning as a surname in this name, doesn't  "Aleichem" 
qualify as the leading word per AACR2?  That is, "Aleichem,  Shalom," or 
"Aleichem, Sholom" depending on the Romanization, with  references from "Shalom 
Aleichem," "Sholom Aleichem" and his real name.

Subject: Re: [ha-Safran] cataloging Sholem Aleichem

If you're going to use the pseudonym, it really needs to be under "Sholom". To 
put it under Aleichem would be like referencing "Doody, Howdy". Sholom-aleichem 
(or Sholem-aleykhem) is a fixed phrase, not a first and last name.

Best,
