Rabbi David grew up in a Jewish family in Passaic, NJ. As a young man he had no knowledge of Yeshua. One day while walking to synagogue he passed by a big church and walked in to see what it was like. He was horrified to see the body of Jesus on a cross and left in a hurry, feeling very uncomfortable.
His brother Jan had several health issues, and one day announced to the family that he had found Jesus. David was furious and when he stood up, Jan simply put his hands up and "something" threw David back against the wall. His brother hadn't touched him at all. Jan had been completely healed and David knew something was going on. He wanted to know more. He began to visit a Pentecostal church with his brother, accepted the Lord and was instantly cured from demonic thoughts about himself. Rabbi David learned the importance of daily Bible devotions.
Eventually he and his wife Helene became the Rabbi and Rebetzin of Shuva Yisrael Congregation in Plainview, NY. Two of their sons are Messianic Rabbis and one is an inhalation therapist in the Navy.
