What does Jewish tradition teach about giving—and how does philanthropy shape the future of Jewish life?

Rabbi Elliot Cosgrove and Jon Frankel explore the meaning of tzedakah, from childhood lessons about generosity to the modern realities of philanthropy. They’re joined by Andres Spokoiny, President and CEO of the Jewish Funders Network, who works with philanthropists around the world to strengthen Jewish communities and maximize the impact of charitable giving.

Together they discuss how funders set priorities, the challenges of fighting antisemitism, and why investing in Jewish leadership—from rabbis to educators—may be one of the most important forms of giving today.

Inside the Jewish Book Council and Why Jewish Stories Matter

A rabbi and a journalist walk into… not a bar, not a synagogue, but a SiriusXM podcast studio. Each week, Rabbi Elliot Cosgrove, Senior Rabbi of Park Avenue Synagogue, and Jon Frankel, formerly of Real Sports, will banter, question, and explore the big issues of our day through the lens of Jewish tradition and lived experience. The program is designed to be fun, thoughtful, and engaging—where faith matters, and conversation runs deep.
