Description

Speaking to angels is a sign of a Jew's humility. As long as we know that only Hashem can help us, then it is allowed to ask an angel to defend us. Zohar says the best advice in times of distress is to daven at the graves of tzaddikim. There is concern is that a person would make mistakes at a grave because they do not know how to conduct themselves. Rebbe Nachman made a promise to those who come to daven at his kever.
