Froman was the driving force behind Eretz Shalom (Hebrew for "Land of Peace"), a settler peace movement which promotes dialogue and coexistence with its Palestinian neighbours.
The group rejects settler violence and is known for paying solidarity visits to West Bank mosques hit by vandalism by suspected Jewish extremists.

AFP - Rabbi Menahem Froman, a Jewish settler and peace activist who was laid to rest on Tuesday, was one of the few Israelis to have talked with Hamas, the Islamist group which calls for Israel's destruction.
The 68-year-old rabbi of Tekoa settlement near Bethlehem, who died Monday after a two-year battle with cancer, was an ardent advocate of peace and was convinced that an agreement with the Islamist Hamas movement was possible, through mutual religious understanding.
A poet and father of 10 who was known for his long, white wispy beard and infectious laugh, Froman dreamed of peaceful coexistence with his Palestinian neighbours.
"Rabbi Froman was like a brother," said Ibrahim Abu al-Hawa, a Palestinian friend attending his funeral at the hilltop settlement.
In a message read out to thousands of mourners, among them several cabinet ministers, Israeli President Shimon Peres wrote that the late rabbi "was a great believer in scripture and a great believer in peace."
"He saw everyone as a friend," Peres wrote, while Deputy Prime Minister Moshe Yaalon eulogised him as "a visionary."
