Cooper graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree from Columbia College in 1971 and went on to do his graduate work at Yale University, where he obtained a Master of Philosophy and PhD in religious studies.[2][3]

Career

Cooper was formerly a singer in the band Sha Na Na, formed by his Columbia classmates, and sang the lead in "At the Hop" in Woodstock.[4][5][6] He also made appearances on The Tonight Show and The Merv Griffin Show.[7][8]

Cooper served on the faculties of McMaster University and Hebrew Union College – Jewish Institute of Religion.[9] In 1997, he was appointed to a position at the Jewish Theological Seminary of America.
