>>I read  something in last weeks [Hebrew] Mishpacha (pp 44) by Rav
Yaakov Posen  related to an old thread.

He mentions that when his late father was  deathly ill they went to
every Rov and "Baba" they could find, in order to  get brochos.

One Tzadik told them to put a Sefer Raziel Hamalach and a  Mezuza in
the patient's pocket. Once he was on his deathbed they put these  items
on his pillow....

....He ends off by saying that we can learn  from here that (regarding
various segulos) the concept of "it can't hurt" is  not always true.<<

>>>>>
This is the second time that I've seen the sefer Raziel Hamalach  mentioned 
in A/A.  The other time was recently on Areivim re a discussion  about the mass 
printing of Tanya's, where someone mentioned that Raziel Hamalach  is also 
mass printed.  I would have said that I never heard of it or saw  it, but then 
in my Pesach cleaning I came across a tiny little sefer, Raziel  Hamalach, 
printed in such small letters that my middle-aged eyes can't read it.  It must 
have gotten into my kitchen drawer /somehow/ though I have no memory of  it.  
What I am asking now may be an alef-bais question to the erudite  denizens of A/A 
but -- what the heck IS this sefer?  What's it about, who  wrote it, who is 
Raziel Hamalach?
