During the Torah, the Rebbe shlit"a based himself on the verse "Today you are going out, in the month of springtime," and explained that through the mitzvah of matzah, whose segulah is that one is protected from sins for an entire year, one does not lose the tzelem Elokim, and the prayer of Yisroel is accepted. Matzah is an acronym for "Mi'kol Tzarah Hatzileinu" (from every trouble save us), because it is in the merit of matzah that Hashem hears the prayer of Yisroel and one is saved from all troubles.
