NEW YORK, Sept. 18, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- SiriusXM
today announced the new Sunday morning series "Righteous Radio"
beginning Sunday, September 21st at
9:00 am – 10:00 am ET on SiriusXM's Indie Channel 102. The
program will be hosted by the esteemed Rabbi Elliot J. Cosgrove, Ph.D., of New York's Park Avenue Synagogue, who will
engage listeners in discussion around Judaism and Jewish Culture
and how our religious beliefs play a critical role in how we choose
to live our lives.
Rabbi Cosgrove will lead a thorough and thoughtful exploration
and discussion of Judaism as a way to help reconnect those who may
have strayed from the faith, and bring them the culture and
traditions they may be lacking. As Jews head into the holiest time
in the Jewish calendar, the first show will feature themes and
traditions of the Jewish Holidays. Rabbi Cosgrove began his tenure
at the Park Avenue Synagogue in 2008.
"I spend my days working with Jews who have self-selected into
congregational life. This is my opportunity to bring the
Jewish conversation to those who are not in the pews," said Rabbi
Elliot Cosgrove. "I hope that
'Righteous Radio' is a place to discuss what it means to lead a
spiritual life in the modern world."
"Rabbi Cosgrove has fresh, exciting plans for 'Righteous Radio'
and the exceptional platform it offers to re-connect listeners
coast to coast with Jewish culture and lifestyle," said
Scott Greenstein, SiriusXM's
President and Chief Content Officer. "We're honored to work with
him on a unique program that will allow listeners the opportunity
to engage, question and reflect."
Named in 2013 as one of the Top 50 American Rabbis by The Daily
Beast, Rabbi Elliot J. Cosgrove,
Ph.D., began his tenure at Park Avenue Synagogue in 2008. A leading
voice in the Conservative Movement, he follows a tradition of
distinguished rabbinical predecessors on the pulpit at PAS.
Ordained at The Jewish Theological
Seminary in 1999, Rabbi Cosgrove earned his Ph.D. at the
University of Chicago Divinity School.
He is the author of five collections of selected sermons and the
editor of Jewish Theology in Our Time: A New Generation
Explores the Foundations and Future of Jewish Belief. He also
serves the Jewish community beyond PAS and the community-at-large.
He sits on the Chancellor's Cabinet of JTS and on the Editorial Board of Conservative
Judaism. He is a member of the Executive Committee of the
Rabbinical Assembly, an officer of the New York Board of Rabbis and a member of the
