Alexandra Silber, After Anatevka: A Novel Inspired by Fiddler on the Roof“For now, I look to God, for I know He will respond to my questions. For I believe, in the deepest part of my heart, that He shall truly bring us into a frame of mind where we may hear His greatest responses . . . Perhaps not the final answers, but at the very least, the next response we need.”
