Yisroel who are called Reishis”, as a result of that [avodah] the evil becomes eradicated from Yisroel, [and consequently] automatically the evil becomes eradicated from the entire world. And all this comes about through וְשֹׁטְרִים שֹׁפְטִים ‘Judges and Officers’. Because the ‘Judges’ relates to that which our Rabbis of blessed memory have said:
Called Reishis: (Yirmiyohu 2:3) ש קֹׁדֶּ יִשְרָאֵל ה׳ רֵאשִית תְבוּאָתֹׁה כָל־אֹׁכְלָיו יֶּאְשָמוּ רָעָה תָבֹׁא אֲלֵיהֶּם נְאֻם־ה׳ “Yisroel is holy to HaShem, the first of His grain; all who eat him shall be guilty, evil shall befall them, says HaShem.”
From Yisroel: Who are the raison d'être - the intended purpose of the entire creation.
All this: All this effect of removing evil that begins with man’s individual efforts, then leads on to affect the Jewish people as a whole and finally on the entire world population, is a result of the Jewish people’s individual removal of evil which is effectuated by the individual placements of personal judges and officers.
Judges: I.e.: what judges represent in a person’s personal boundaries.
Sages have said: Talmud Brochos (5a) One should always incite his good inclination against his evil inclination, i.e., that one must constantly struggle so that his evil inclination does not lead him to transgression. If one succeeds and subdues his evil inclination, excellent, but if he does not succeed in subduing it, he should study Torah, as alluded to in the verse: (Tehilim 4:5) רִ גְזוּ וְאַּל־תֶּחֱטָאוּ אִמְרוּ בִלְבַּבְכֶּם עַּל־מִשְכַּבְכֶּם וְדֹׁמוּ סֶּלָה with the words: “Say to your heart.” If he subdues his evil inclination, excellent; if not, he should recite Shema, which contains the acceptance of the yoke of heaven, and the concept of reward and punishment, as it is stated in the verse: “Upon your bed,” which alludes to Shema, where it says: “When you lie down.” If he subdues his evil inclination, excellent; if not, he should remind himself of the day of death, whose silence is alluded to in the continuation of the verse: “And be still, Selah.”.
Insite... over his evil inclination: As Rashi explains he should wage war with his evil inclination. The animal soul and the evil inclination are born with the body and being that the good inclination with the Neshomo only fully enter the body at the Bar Mitzvah the animal soul and the evil inclination presume that they have rights and therefore if one were not to incite his good inclination over his evil inclination and be worried about upsetting the status quo he would never achieve his full potential and would always choose hedonism over achievement.
Rabbis... have said: In the continuation of our abovementioned quote, in Talmud, Tractate Berachot 5A it says: “So said Rabbi Levi the son of Chama in the name of Rabbi Shimon son of Lakish-‘A person should constantly anger his Yetzer Hara with his Yetzer Tov as the Possuk says “They became angry and they didn’t sin” meaning, if you are victorious in this service, then good, and if not then you should toil in Torah study...” The Talmud goes on to say other rectifications for things you aren’t able to do until it says, “And if you can’t read the Shema, you should remind himself of the day of his death...”.
Which: This action of remembering one’s day of death to come, helps one to be victorious against the Yetzer Hora and this triumph is because of one’s fear of punishment or fear of dying and meeting one’s creator with a stained soul is akin to fearing the punishment of the enforcement officer.
