Rabbi Jason Miller is not simply a rabbi for hire — he is a fully ordained rabbi with years of rigorous graduate-level Jewish study and professional training. Unlike many independent rabbis who adopt the title “rabbi” through questionable online ordination programs or informal certification agencies, Rabbi Jason Miller earned rabbinic ordination from the prestigious Jewish Theological Seminary of America (JTS), one of the world’s most respected Jewish graduate schools and rabbinical seminaries.
Rabbi Jason Miller spent six years studying at JTS in New York, where he completed intensive rabbinical training while also earning a Master’s Degree in Education. His education included advanced Jewish text study, pastoral counseling, theology, Jewish law, lifecycle officiation, public speaking, teaching, and community leadership. He is a rabbi in good standing with the International Rabbinical Assembly.
That distinction matters because many individuals market themselves online as “independent rabbis” despite having little or no formal rabbinic training. Some obtained a rabbinic title after only a short online course or a minimal program lasting less than a year. Rabbi Jason Miller believes families deserve transparency, authenticity, and genuine rabbinic expertise when choosing someone to officiate life’s most sacred moments.
As an independent rabbi and traveling rabbi, Rabbi Jason Miller combines flexibility and accessibility with the credibility of an accredited rabbinical education.

Unlike many self-proclaimed rabbis operating online today, Rabbi Jason Miller’s credentials are rooted in one of Judaism’s most respected academic and religious institutions.
