Menachem Froman Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Mar. 4, 2013.
JERUSALEM (AP) - Rabbi Menachem Froman, an Israeli settler known for his efforts to promote coexistence between Arabs and Jews, has died. He was 68.

His son Shivi Froman said he died Monday after a long illness.

Froman, who served as the rabbi of the West Bank settlement of Tekoa, had ties to many Palestinian leaders. He was an outspoken opponent of attacks by Jewish settlers on mosques. He often visited damaged holy sites with local Palestinian officials. He believed Israelis and Palestinians could live together peacefully.

Froman was a founder of the Gush Emunim movement promoting Israeli settlement of the West Bank. He opposed the removal of Jewish settlers from the area, claiming a sacred biblical connection to the land.

His funeral is scheduled for Tuesday.

How correct Rabbi Menachem was in believing that we can all live together in peace. Very sad he was not able to see that happen. One day this will be the case. Psalm 133:1-3 How good and how pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together in unity.......
