This article is correct. The Women's Rabbinic (not Rabbinical) Alliance was founded on February 8, 1976, by 17 women rabbis and rabbinic students from HUC-JIR's New York campus and RRC. That initial meeting was held in the apartment I shared with Ellen Weinberg Dreyfus when we were second-year rabbinic students in New York. After a little more than two years, it became clear that many of the issues we were addressing were movement-specific, and so the group evolved into the Reform-only Women's Rabbinic Network; the Reconstructionist women were not numerous enough to need such a formal structure.
