The “Litvishe" Sicha of the Lubavitcher Rebbe

Why Did Yaakov Ask Yehuda, Not Yosef, to Build the Yeshiva in Goshen?

1 hr 39 min

Class Summary:

This is a text-based class in Likkkutei Sichos vol. 3 Parshas Vayigash. It is a Sicha (address) presented by the Lubavitcher Rebbe on Shabbos Parshas Miketz, 5722, (December 9, 1961), and was taught by Rabbi YY Jacobson on Thursday, Parshas Vayigash, 9 Tevet, 5781, December 24, 2020, streaming live from Rabbi Jacobson's home in Monsey, NY. 

The class explores the question of why did Yaakov ask Yehuda, not Yosef, to build the Yeshiva in Goshen? The Jew lives in a material world, but his roots are planted in the soil of unadulterated spirituality. In his daily life, the Jew must often be a Yosef, but his education must be provided by a Yehuda.

    Yehuda chosen to set up the yeshiva

    But, wasn't he involved in business dealings outside the family and  sheparding when he eventually got involved with Tamar?

    to the day I can totally retreat from the world while studying Torah and when praying to experience that which you described today.
