I want to thank the many people who shared recollections from their personal involvement in the movement or in a few cases, broad historical knowledge, making this document possible. I am indebted to Diane Balser, Kenneth Bob, Charney Bromberg, Cherie Brown, Rabbi Larry Edwards, Molly Freeman, Betsy Fuchs, Michael Gaster, David Halperin, Jonathan Jacoby, Clare Kinberg, Arieh Leibowitz, Rabbi Michael Lerner, Yonatan Levi, Steve Masters, Carolyn Toll Oppenheim, Gail Pressberg, Jessica Rosenblum, Rabbi Gerry Serotta, Ron Skolnick, Tom Smerling, Allan Solomonow, Rabbi Arthur Waskow, Jonathan Wolf, and Elliot Zashin for their assistance with this project.
Most importantly, I could not have done this without the exceptional editing assistance of Rebecca Lillian, Jessica Rosenblum, and Sue Swartz.
