According to the midrash, Yaakov chose Yehuda to head his "yeshiva" in Egypt. Why didn't Yaakov choose the seemingly more appropriate candidate, Yosef, who had already proven his ability to maintain his identity in Egypt?
In this sicha, we discuss a number of important lessons that we can draw from Yehuda's words to Yosef, focusing in particular on Yehuda's complete commitment to fulfilling his guarantee.
Yosef may have been convinced he was acting in accordance with a Divine plan, but apparently he was meant to act on the human plane, and was meant to follow regular moral norms.
In Sefer Bereishit we find differing models of integration and isolation, and these still frame the question of our involvement with the rest of the world today - its dangers and its potential.
