This refers to the peace of the Torah, as it says, \u201cThe Lord will give strength (i.e. Torah) unto His people; the Lord will bless His people with peace\u201d (Psalms 29:11)\u2026<br \/>\nGreat is peace, for the divine name is blotted out in water for the sake of bringing about peace between a man and his wife (in the Sotah ritual, see Numbers 5:23). <br \/>\nGreat is peace, for the conclusion of the whole Amidah Prayer is peace, and the conclusion of the priestly blessing is peace. For blessings are effective when they conclude with a prayer for peace. <br \/>\nGreat is peace, for it was given to the meek, as it says, \u201cThe humble shall inherit the land and delight themselves in the abundance of peace\u201d (Psalms 37:11). <br \/>\nGreat is peace, for it outweighs all else, as we say in the Morning Prayer, \u201cHe [God] makes peace and creates all\u201d\u2026 <br \/>\nGreat is peace, for even the dying need the promise of peace, as God said to Abram, \u201cYou shall go to your fathers in peace\u201d (Genesis 15:15), and as God promised Zedekiah, King of Judah: \u201cYou shall die in peace\u201d (Jeremiah 34:5). <br \/>\nGreat is peace, for it was given to those who are repentant, as it says, \u201cPeace, peace, to him that is far off and to him that is near, says the Lord\u201d (Isaiah 57:19) \u2026 <br \/>\nGreat is peace, for it was given to those who love the Torah, as it says, \u201cGreat peace have they that love Your Torah\u201d (Psalms 119:165). <br \/>\nGreat is peace, for it was given to those who study the Torah, as it says, \u201cAnd all Your children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of Your children\u201d (Isaiah 54:13) \u2026 <br \/>\nGreat is peace, for God is called Peace, as it says: \u201cThe Lord is peace\u201d (Judges 6:24). Indeed, the Torah itself is compared to peace, as it says, \u201cAll her paths are peace\u201d (Proverbs 3:17). <br \/>\nAnd the Holy One, blessed be He, comforts Jerusalem with the promise of peace, as it says: \u201cAnd My people shall abide in a habitation of peace\u201d (Isaiah 32: 18). And so, Israel are continually blessed with peace, as it says, \u201cThe Lord bestow His favor upon you and grant you peace!\u201d (Numbers 6:26).<\/p>\n<p>image by:
