David Horowitz (1903–2002) was the founder
of the United Israel World Union and one of
eight children of Cantor Aaron and Bertha
Horowitz whose family immigrated to the United
States in 1914.
He first went to the land of present-day Israel
in 1924 as an ardent Zionist.
He married and moved to Poland in 1927 where
he lived with his wife's parents during her
pregnancy and played a part in trying to rescue
European Jews from the Nazi plan to eliminate
them as Germany conquered the countries of
Europe during the 1939-1945 Second World War.
He moved to the U.S. in 1943 where he became
an accredited correspondent to the United
Nations and founded the United Israel World
Union.
The purpose of his organization was to preach
a universal Hebraic faith for all humankind
based on the Decalogue and the other universal
commandments of the Torah.
The hallmark of the organization was Isaiah's
prescription that:
My house will become a house of prayer for
all peoples ...
This is the same verse that Herbert W. Armstrong
used for his reason to build the Ambassador
Auditorium in Pasadena, California, and Armstrong
once announced a plan to assist in the building
of a Jewish/Christian/Islamic center at Mount
Sinai with the blessings of both Egyptian
and Israeli leaders.
Horowitz authored State in the Making (1953,
Knopf, NY), recounting his contributions to
the creation of the State of Israel.
He was also the long-time editor of the United
Nations Correspondents Association's quarterly
newsletter and was the author of the 1986
biography "Pastor Charles Taze Russell: An
Early American Christian Zionist."
The book detailed the pro-Zionism writings
and sermons of the founder of the Watch Tower
Bible and Tract Society, better known as the
Jehovah's Witness movement.
Notably, Horowitz also wrote Thirty-Three
Candles, a book detailing his involvement
with Messianic claimant Moses Guibbory and
famed radio announcer Boake Carter.
