On the one hand, there is the Jewish principle of dina d\x26rsquo;malchuta dina (the law of the land is the law), and supporters of the mosque have the American law of freedom of religion on their side. On the other hand, in this instance, freedom of religion (i.e. freedom to build a mosque) conflicts with the Jewish value of rodef shalom (pursuing peace), which would advocate for moving the mosque for the sake of peace with the friends and family of 9/11 victims. Here are materials to help students figure out what the controversy is all about and where they stand on the issue. After reading these articles students can engage in a classroom debate about freedom of religion vs. rodef shalom.
