Kaddish is one of the most powerful and potent prayers in our repitoire. Why then is it said in Aramaic rather than in the Holy Tongue of Hebrew?
Chemdas Yomim answers that this is due to the fact that Kaddish possesses the power to combat those forces that are most distant from holiness. As a result, rather than attacking those forces with Hebrew, the language of holiness, we meet them on their turf, with a non-holy tongue, in order to destroy them.
