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 Board of UJA-Federation of New York. He serves as Rabbinical Advisor on Interfaith Affairs for the ADL and he is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.
