My Soul Was Redeemed In Peace

In a letter to Rabbi Levi Yitzchak of Berditchev, written after his release from prison on Yud-Tes Kislev, the Alter Rebbe (Rabbi Schneur Zalman - the founder and first Rebbe of Chabad) described the moment at which he was informed of his release by the czarist authorities as follows: “As I was reciting Tehillim, reading the verse that begins, ‘He has redeemed my soul in peace,’ and before I began the following verse, I went forth in peace through the G‑d of Peace.”

How does this special revelation of "peace" bestowed upon David HaMelech's (King David's) soul correspond to the "peace" experienced by the Alter Rebbe? And what lesson can be learned to impact our own lives and Service of G-d?

The present discourse dives deeply into the redemption of the Jewish Nation as a whole, and how each individual Jew brings this redemption nearer through their efforts in three primary arenas: Torah Study, Deeds of Kindness, and Prayer with the Congregation.
