The article explores the significance of Yaakov sending Yehuda ahead to Egypt to establish a house of Torah study before the family's arrival. Drawing on classical commentaries, it highlights that this act was not merely logistical but deeply spiritual, aiming to create a sanctuary of holiness in a land known for its impurity. The sages discuss why Yehuda, rather than Yosef, was chosen for this mission, emphasizing Yehuda's public sanctification of the Divine Name and his destined leadership role. Ultimately, the article presents Yaakov's initiative as a foundational act, ensuring that Torah learning and spiritual purity would guide his descendants throughout their exile, shaping the identity and resilience of the nation for generations to come.
