The Original Charter of United Israel World Union
UIWU was founded by the late David Horowitz in January, 1944, incorporated in the State of New York. The original By-Laws of the organization are most instructive to read 64 years later. We still have in our office here in Charlotte some original copies of this historic document. What they
convey, particularly in the preamble, is not so much the rules and regulations of an organization as a Biblical prophetic vision of the founder, David Horowitz. This vision is as elegant as it is simple, particularly in terms of how membership requirements are formulated in such an open way. It is clear that Horowitz was wanting UIWU to transcend denominational and confessional boundaries, by centering and focusing on the essentials of what he understood to be Abrahamic Faith. It is also quite notable that Mr. Horowitz used inclusive gender language regarding even in 1944 with his references to “brothers and sisters” of United Israel World Union. We thought it might be instructive to post these here.
