something in last weeks [Hebrew] Mishpacha (pp 44) by Rav<BR>Yaakov Posen
related to an old thread.<BR><BR>He mentions that when his late father was
deathly ill they went to<BR>every Rov and "Baba" they could find, in order to
get brochos.<BR><BR>One Tzadik told them to put a Sefer Raziel Hamalach and a
Mezuza in<BR>the patient's pocket. Once he was on his deathbed they put these
items<BR>on his pillow....<BR><BR>....He ends off by saying that we can learn
from here that (regarding<BR>various segulos) the concept of "it can't hurt" is
not always true.<<<BR><BR>>>>>></FONT></DIV>

size=2>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?<BR></DIV></FONT></DIV>
