 Rabbinical Assembly - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Originally set up as the alumni association of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America (JTS), the Rabbinical Assembly (RA) is the official, international body of Conservative Rabbis, with some 1400 members.
Rabbinical graduates from JTS, the University of Judaism (California) and The Schechter Institute of Jewish Studies (Jerusalem, Israel) are automatically members of the RA; Rabbis whose ordination is from other seminaries and Yeshivas are also welcome to apply.
The Committee on Jewish Law and Standards (CJLS) is the movement's central body on interpreting Jewish law and custom; it was founded by the Rabbinical Assembly in the 1920s.

 A Dubious Blessing
The "has not created me a woman" blessing is part of a sub-group that expresses similar gratitude for not having been created a gentile (i.e., a heathen) or a slave.
Several modern scholars, beginning with the philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer, have remarked on the uncanny parallel between the wording of the Jewish blessings and an ancient Greek tradition ascribed variously to Thales, Socrates or Plato.
The sage in question was allegedly in the habit of thanking God for three things: "that I was born a human and not a beast; a man and not a woman; a Greek and not a Barbarian."
