What does Judaism believe about archangels?

Mod here. Since Judaism isn’t a monolith, askers may want to consider including any FORs they think influenced their response, and/or providing sources or reasoning.

Some random (free) interesting sources (mostly history, religion, language, and mythology):

So I found a bunch of stuff and now I am conflicted on where to even begin learning all I want to learn. Most of YouTube channels are run by scholars so they include sources in the description and include databases that scholars use like Livius or PSD for Sumerian (I’m not listing them here since they will take up too much space). Just remember- if you don’t like the formatting of the some of the ones I listed- there are other scholars with other lecturing styles so don’t feel discouraged by these. 

For those bored but interested in classical studies or ancient near eastern history, I have some links that some might find interesting (all is free) and most of these people put sources in the description so you can find books and articles on the topics):

Learn Sumerian:

Digital Hammurabi has a playlist for learning Sumerian 

(they also have a playlist on Biblical Hebrew) 

Just an overview of cuneiform- Irving Finkel 

(he’s a very cool guy to listen to. He’s an Assyriologist).

Learn hieroglyphics:

reading Middle Egyptian also on Digital Hammurabi but by a different scholar

Voices of Ancient Egypt also had a playlist

Vintage Egyptologist is making videos on the topic

Learn Ancient Greek:

Chapter 89:

Chapter 89: Blow Us All Away

It was always meant to be a double life. A mantle. A instructional guide. Then my father took my folder, my pictures my reference. And he with god and (TW FOR MUSLIMS REGARDING PROPHET DEPICTIONS) and Allah sculpted me out of clay. He breathed and I became Olive Brimstone. But I’m not a golem even though I say, and my father Acrians worries me. He’s my master, my friend, my parent and he didnt’ make a new he used his. So I guess it is an act, but I live through his stories, and that is why I am public domain and my diary, no matter Zues said. My thoughts are my own, I am traceable to my mentor, and now he’s got his new favorite student Ariah…I guess now he’s done with me. But I don’t think I’m a bad person anymore. Because looking at myself objectively as though as alter- as though I’m someone new with a fresh coat of paint I am no longer evil and I can see that now in Master, I can see that now in Acrians. No longer do I loathe my teacher, not matter the similarity. Good for Ariah though I mean honestly.

He kept saying when he sculpted his perfect student “is she…really like this? Is this really how you see me?” to god, not noticing that we are identical! Yes I am prettier than him, everyone keeps saying how gorgeous I appear. But I untainted am my own person…

Anyways, I met Philip Hamitlon, and I taught him to rewew. Renewal is identical to regeneration on docto who except your personality stays the same with minor tweaks. You make a new body you focus on what you want and my diary secretly shows you how in the alternate version going to print. My friend Felix rewnes later on, and I have renewed currently, but while I gave them the secret to doing this, in the original writing of renew, I can go back to my old face, the others cannot.

I have several faces I cycle through. Mine Olive, my teachers Acrians, and Ariah and the other students it’s more than just a mantle when they take the place- and then I have my own unique faces. I met the historical figure philip Hamilton and in an act I became him he was on his death bed we met at the fanfic cafe, then he renewed and had a new face. I always loved the conspiracy theory “That alexander hamilton faked his own death”. Anyways, then on, I was told by several important people I had to guide each and every president. These are conspiraciesw go wild #shanedawson and I with my pilots guided many. You’d be surprised how covertly common D.I.D is.

Bill Clinton had issues with my pilot decker and we always disagreed. I loved kenedy, and I’m a republican democrat piliticall or a left leaning liberal or a leftist with odd policies. Basically I’m weird. Reclaimed my judaism that’s fun. But only culturally.  I’m glad I finally came clean about the golem thing however recent, because as always is out of order. OOH I KNOW. My tubing avatar goes on adventures and the lets plays are real, but they seem like a character like a story I made up and I rpomised tj kirk i’d as a feminist review the kneck beards bible.

Anyways! I have chai tea that’s good. And I’m supposed to meet neris in the bubbles soon he’s curios as to how this all works, bye!

Oh and I’m totally gona find sam and dean to become a hunter. It’s not an act up here!
