Why did Daniel write in Aramaic?

Hi,
"The words of the Chaldeans and their kings, which were stated in Aramaic, and the words Daniel spoke to them in their tongue as well, he saw fit to record as they were stated. This is because errors and many forms of mistakes fall into translation from one tongue to another."

(Don Isaac Abarbanel, Introduction to Maayanei haYeshuah on Daniel)

Have a great day,
Mordechai

The eighth of Tevet

Hi,

Friday is the eighth of Tevet:

"On the eighth of Tevet the Torah was written in Greek, in the days of King Ptolemy, and darkness came to the world for three days. Our sages did not say what happened on the ninth, but on that day Ezra and Nechemiah died. On the tenth, the king of Babylon neared Jerusalem to destroy her."

(Baal Halachot Gedolot #18)
 
Have a good day,
Mordechai
