Works

Cooper has a monthly column on Hasidism called The Tisch, which appears in The Jerusalem Post.

In addition, Cooper has presented research papers for the Van Leer Jerusalem Institute, Bar-Ilan University, the Foundation for Jewish Studies, the World Congress of Jewish Studies, and has published in many journals, such as the Cambridge Journal of Law and Religion and the Jewish Political Studies Review.

His first book, Relics for the Present was published by Koren Publishers Jerusalem in June 2012. Alan Jay Gerber, writing in The Jewish Star called the work an application of Dr. Israel Drazin's observation "Many rabbis write books based on Torah verses, which they use as a backdrop for their ideas about contemporary society and the application of what they consider moral principles to various modern problems.” A second volume followed in 2016.
