"He sent Judah before him to Joseph, teach when it is ahead Goshen" (46, 28).

Interpreted this as our rabbis of blessed memory said: "before the descent of Jacob himself to Egypt, he sent Judah before him "to install a home study, to be in there learning Torah, the tribes will learn Torah".

Jacob did so, because he knew that the Egyptians are a broken and corrupt, the nearby presence of the children of Israel may cause spiritual decline. He knew that the Egyptian exile would be a spiritual danger to Israel, and the best means of protection, see Jacob basis Beit Midrash for Torah study in Egypt.

Torah study there may be two ways:
• reading verses from the Torah.
• Toil and effort to understanding the theoretical depth of things.

The phrase before us - "thinkers" in Torah, means that Jacob realized that only when his sons to learn the Torah in Egypt studying philosophy, will give them mental strength Law provides that, in fact, protect them from the influence of the Egyptian street. This is because only when a person learns Torah from the toil and contemplation as required, to be part of the Torah becomes realistic.

Its understandable why according to one of the conditions required for the messiah is to be "contemplating the Torah." Since the power to redeem Israel from exile only to him for being united with the Torah, not subject to the effects and limitations of the world. Only a man as the Messiah, whose essence is the reality is the Torah, able to overcome the exile and remove it from the people of Israel to redemption.
