Novel about professor named cohen?

hi, i started reading this novel a few years ago and am trying to find it again but cant recall the name. i only read about 100 pages. i believe the author was interviewed on the Unorthodox podcast. from what i remember of the first 100 or so pages, there is a professor in new york city, he is recently divorced, there is a scene where he takes his daughter to yom kippur services (i think?), and he starts to romantically pursue an asian college student who is reading sheet music. i think there is some connection to the talmud later in the book. can anyone name the novel for me?
