Raziel (Hebrew: רזיאל "Secret[s] of God") is an archangel within the teachings of Jewish mysticism (of the Kabbalah of Judaism) who is the "Keeper of Secrets" and the "Angel of Mysteries". He is associated with the Sephira Chokhmah (the second of ten) in Olam Briah, one of the Four Worlds of Kabbalistic theory.
Various teachings assign Raziel to diverse roles, including that of a Cherub, a member of the Ophanim, and chief of the Erelim.
Raziel, under the alternate name Galizur, ("Revealer of The Rock") is described as the "-ruling prince of the 2nd Heaven.-" He is said to expound the "Torah's divine wisdom," and protects the ministering angels from the Hayyoth, the "holy Creatures" that uphold the universe.
The famous Sefer Raziel HaMalach ("Book of Raziel the Angel") attributed to this figure is said to contain all secret knowledge, and is considered to be a book of magic. He stands close by God's throne, and therefore hears and writes down everything that is said and discussed. He purportedly gave the book to Adam and Eve after they ate from the forbidden Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil (for which resulted in their expulsion from the Garden of Eden) so the two could find their way back "home" and better understand their God. Raziel's fellow angels were deeply disturbed by this, and thus stole the book from Adam and threw it into the ocean. God Himself decided not to punish Raziel, but instead retrieved the book by means of the angel Rahab and returned it to Adam and Eve. Bertie considers this story - not attested in the Bible - to be a variant of the story of Prometheus in Greek mythology

Plot: Goyband is a romantic comedy that fuses music and pop culture with a satirical (albeit gentle) look into Orthodox Judaism and Kabbalah. The word "Goy" is Yiddish for a non-Jewish male. In our story, Adam Pascal of "Rent" fame plays ex-boyband pop star, Bobby Starr. Bobby Starr is booked to headline the grand opening of the first Kosher Casino in the Catskills, (hence the title Goyband.) The reason Bobby gets this unlikely booking is that the daughter of the hotel owner, Rebekkah (played by Amy Davidson of "8 Simple Rules for Dating my Teenage Daughter") has a secret crush on him - hiring him to perform live at the hotel is her last act of rebellion before committing to her arranged marriage.

Genres: ,Black visions through my eyes, like tunnels in demoniac laughter
One with the night, I crushed the gates into this dimension in red
With red bursting eyes - I stare so silent and cold
I kissed you goodbye, left you alone
Nightspirit take me home
With wings on a track and stars by my side
We end on a higher level
Take my hand and come along
Black visions in my mind, like memories in bitter darkness
One with the night, I struggled to stay with the demons inside
With red bursting eyes - I stare so silent and cold
I kissed you goodbye, left you alone
Nightspirit take me home
With wings on a track and stars by my side
We end on a higher level
Help me solve the cosmic black
Come along and let us escape
Into this voyage in rapture
Into a hole, something tears my flesh
Demoniac beasts calls my name
One with the night, stars by my side
I hunt for visions so black
With wings on a track and stars by my side
We end on a higher level
