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 theUnited States in 1914. He first went to the land of present-day Israel in 1924 as an ardentZionist . He married and moved toPoland in 1927 where he lived with his wife's parents during her pregnancy and played a part in trying to rescue Jews from the Nazi death machine as it rolled acrossEurope . He moved to the U.S. in 1943 where he became an accredited correspondent to theUnited 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 theTorah . The hallmark of the organization wasIsaiah 's prescription that:"My house will become a house of prayer for all peoples ..."
This is the same verse thatHerbert W. Armstrong used for his reason to build theAmbassador Auditorium in Pasadena,California , and Armstrong once announced a plan to assist in the building of a Jewish/Christian/Islamic center atMount Sinai with the blessings of both Egyptian and Israeli leaders.Horowitz 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."
