From the Paper:

"In his short story, Angel Levine, Bernard Malamud mingles fiction with fantasy as Manischevitz learns what real faith really means. Through Manischevitz, Malamud distinguishes between real faith and imagined faith. Malamud also demonstrates how real faith can be challenging as well as rewarding. We can believe that Alexander is a real angel because upon Manischevitz's belief, both of their situations improve."
