Naftali Yehudah Horowitz is the third and youngest son of Rabbi Levi Yitzchak Horowitz and Raichel Unger Leifer.

His eldest brother, Rabbi Pinchos Dovid Horowitz, is the Bostoner-Chuster Rav of Borough Park, Brooklyn, and his other brother Rabbi Mayer Alter Horowitz is the Bostoner Rebbe of Har Nof, Jerusalem. His sister Shayna Gittel is married to the Vialopola Rebbe of Flatbush, Brooklyn, and his sister Toba Leah is married to Dayan Rabbi Moshe Chaim Geldzheler of Jerusalem.

Horowitz received rabbinical ordination at Beth Medrash Gevoha in Lakewood, New Jersey and Tchebin Yeshiva of Jerusalem, Israel. He married Shayndle, daughter of the Uheler Rav, Rabbi Shalom HaCohen Weiss, and in 1980 returned with her to Boston to become the Rav of Congregation Beth Pinchas in Brookline. Congregation Beth Pinchas is part of the New England Chassidic Center, an umbrella organization providing religious and community services throughout the Boston area.
