“Our experiences with Rabbi Jason have been truly amazing. Our daughter connected with him in a meaningful way and embraced all of the online tutoring sessions. His ability to put people at ease and attention to detail is remarkable – we were truly amazed at how quickly she made progress in preparing for her Bat Mitzvah in Hamilton, Ontario. By the time we met Rabbi Jason in person, he was part of the family. We were so touched by his words during the service and his ability to relate to everyone – it brought so many of our family members to tears. He is truly an extraordinary person. We can’t recommend Rabbi Jason enough – we’re all looking forward to next year when he can start working with our son for his Bar Mitzvah!”
– Sarah & Jason B. – Toronto, Ontario, Canada
“It was such a pleasure having Rabbi Jason prepare our son for his Bar Mitzvah and officiate over the service. Rabbi Jason made the experience meaningful and low stress. I would recommend Rabbi Jason for special events like a Bar/Bat Mitzvah or wedding wholeheartedly. His warmth, presence and great humor are unmatched!”
– Tamar Y. – San Diego, California
“Such a great experience with Rabbi Jason! We knew we wanted to have a non-traditional mitzvah where the ceremony and celebration were in the same place (Michigan Stadium). Most of our friends didnt think that was possible, but Rabbi Jason came through in epic fashion. He was great working with our son throughout the year, truly got to know our son, and gave him confidence going into his big day. Ultimately it was a great success and we can’t thank Rabbi Jason enough. Cannot recommend him highly enough.”
– Ben & Lesley B. – Ann Arbor, Michigan
“Rabbi Jason taught and guided our son through his Bar Mitzvah. Everything from the first contact through email, over the first meeting on Xoom, the online lessons that where part of our son’s life for almost a year, all the way to the Bar Mitzvah Ceremony in person – was exceptional. Rabbi Jason was always professional, friendly, flexible, knowledgeable and available for any questions we had. Communication was easy on all channels. He created a space for our son and later on for us, where we had the chance to celebrate a very intimate and personalized Bar Mitzvah. We highly recommend Rabbi Jason’s service and will for sure choose Rabbi Jason again, for our second son. After our son’s Bar Mitzvah, I asked him if the ceremony was the way he imagined it, and he said: ‘No, it was even better’ – Thank you Rabbi Jason!”
– Liron G. – Fayetteville, Texas
“Patient, consistent, knows how to build a relationship w tween kids. The best review is that we’ll use him again for our son!”
– Garrett & Lauren R. – Dallas, Texas
“From our first meeting with Rabbi Jason we knew he was the right choice to guide our son, Brady, through his bar mitzvah. Rabbi Jason is easy to talk to, engaging, kind, and a great teacher. He created a beautiful program for the bar mitzvah so each guest could follow along. Rabbi Jason took the time to get to know Brady during their tutoring sessions and Brady was more than prepared on the day of his bar mitzvah, which made us so proud. We will reach out to the rabbi again when it’s our younger son’s bar mitzvah.”
– Caren F., Brooklyn, New York

“We are so grateful to Rabbi Jason for his incredible guidance and support in preparing our son for his bar mitzvah. From the start, Rabbi Jason built a special connection with our son, creating a bond that will last a lifetime. He helped him feel confident and comfortable throughout the entire process. Despite the challenges of remote learning, Rabbi Jason made each session engaging and productive, ensuring our son stayed on track and felt prepared. The service he officiated was meaningful, personal, and beautifully conducted, incorporating our family’s unique preferences and even finding special ways to include multiple family members. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience—thank you, Rabbi Jason, for making this milestone so memorable!”
– Ricci V. – Chapel Hill, North Carolina
“Rabbi Jason is terrific! From our first meeting through the ceremony, we could not have asked for a better experience. About a year or so ago, my son and I talked about having a Bar Mitzvah ceremony. He was motivated to have one, and since we do not belong to a synagogue, I looked online for options. After reading the reviews, I contacted Rabbi Jason and we scheduled a virtual meeting where he could meet us. Rabbi Jason and my son developed a rapport quickly and we felt comfortable that this was the right approach for us.
For almost a year, Rabbi Jason and my son met virtually every other week for 30-minute lessons. My son would practice what he learned between lessons. As we planned the big day, Rabbi Jason guided us on how to have a successful day. He was available to answer all of our questions, no matter how small they were. His responsiveness and thoughtfulness were second to none.
On the day of the ceremony, Rabbi Jason made us feel at ease and helped us make small changes to the venue to make it feel more personal. The ceremony was excellent. Rabbi Jason was personable, funny, and led a beautiful service. I was very proud of my son, seeing the culmination of all the work he put in throughout the year. Many of our guests commented on how great the ceremony was, which was in large part because of the consideration Rabbi Jason put into making the event special. I couldn’t recommend him more. Thank you very much Rabbi Jason!”
– Gary P. – Buffalo, New York
“I want to thank you again, Rabbi Jason, for all you’ve done for Asher this past year. He formed a deep connection with you and now has such a positive attitude about his religion, which we are eternally grateful for. We had a wonderful family celebration at our home with cousins, aunts, uncles and close friends coming in from all over the country, which made the Bar Mitzvah for Asher so special. He was so proud of himself and I know that he will carry this experience with him throughout his entire life. We are all so grateful to you.”
– Susan B. – Irvine, California

Rabbi Jason’s thoughtful approach and personalized attention made the entire process smooth and stress-free. He took the time to tailor the service to our specific needs, ensuring it reflected our family’s traditions and values. On the day of the event, his calm presence and inspiring words made the service truly special and meaningful. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect experience for our son and our family. We are so grateful for everything he did to make this day unforgettable, and we look forward to working with him again in the future for our younger son’s Bar Mitzvah.”
– Marita S. – Rockland County, New York

Being a mixed faith family we wanted to create a very intimate, unique service and spiritual connection to Judaism. Rabbi Jason’s guidance, amazing charisma, and tailored approach created a magical connection for our son, and our family. This would never have been possible without him. It was a privilege to find Rabbi Jason, and a honor to now have him as a part of our family. Our son’s Bar Mitzvah weekend exceeded all we had hoped for, and created wonderful memories that forever will be in our hearts.”
– Lindsay J. – Chicago, Illinois

– Danny & Samantha S. – Los Angeles, California
“Rabbi Jason Miller is wonderful. We did not know where or how we would be able to have a Bar Mitzvah for our son, as we are not members of a synagogue, and we were relocating overseas at the time, but were saved by serendipity. Finding Rabbi Jason Miller in an online search, we never imagined that he would provide the full Bar Mitzvah lessons virtually for our son from 5,000 miles away, and then the Bar Mitzvah in person with our friends and family in a venue near our home. The Rabbi traveled to us, Torah in hand. My Son had a traditional Bar Mitzvah in an untraditional way. The Rabbi was fun, pleasant, professional, and easy to work with. After a year of lessons online, when he finally met our son face to face, the rapport was evident, and the resulting Bar Mitzvah ceremony perfect. Covering all the key criteria, adding an uplifting vibe, and delivering the ceremony in a concise yet warm and unhurried manner. I had only one Rabbi in my life from bris to bar mitzvah to a few years ago when he retired. I now have a new Rabbi and hope he will be there when my son is married. Full up recommendation for Mitzvah Rabbi Jason Miller.”
– Michael Y. – Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
“Rabbi Jason Miller is literally THE BEST. Sooooo warm, soooo positive, everything you could ever wish for in a rabbi and more. He made my son’s bar mitzvah a magical & meaningful experience. Not to mention totally stress free. I give him my absolute highest recommendation! A++++++!!!!!!”
– Corey F. – Miami, Florida
“Rabbi Jason was terrific. We did not have the time for an affiliation with a synagogue and really wanted to give our son a beautiful bar mitzvah. I found Rabbi Jason through Internet research and spoke with him at length. He educated my son on zoom for a year prior to his bar mitzvah. Rabbi Jason taught my son his Torah portion and educated my son on the holidays and the history of Judaism. He flew out to California to perform a beautiful ceremony that inspired many of my neighbors to move forward with having a bar or bat mitzvah for their kids. He prepared a beautiful program and was open to any changes that we added. The ceremony was moving, beautiful, funny and not boring. I would sincerely recommend Rabbi Jason If you are looking for a third-party Rabbi. He’s absolutely great and the real deal. Two thumbs up from our family and especially our son.”
– Elizabeth R. – Malibu, California
“From the moment we first spoke with Rabbi Jason and talked about having Sadie’s Bat Mitzvah in Florence, Italy, Jason told us that it will be authentic, memorable and that he will be bringing the Torah. Rabbi Jason met with Sadie from January – March to prepare for the full ceremony and helped with her with preparation for her Torah readings. And, he created the most beautiful Siddur book for the Bat Mitzvah. What blew us all away was his most sincere and beautiful speech about the D’var Torah and Sadie. He made this most wonderful day so perfect and a day we will never forget. Rabbi Jason will always have a special place in our hearts and we know that there was a sign that led us to him.”
– Tara G. – New York City, NY
“This was such a beautifully smooth and incredible experience. They boys loved spending time with the Rabbi from the comfort of their own home. Our boys are on the spectrum and needed an adaptive service. Every detail was tailored to their abilities and our entire family celebrated this special occasion surrounded by love, support, and kindness. This was the perfect experience and we are so grateful to have found Rabbi Jason ❤️”
– Misty L. – Dallas, Texas
“Amazing experience with Rabbi Jason for a b’nai mitzvah for my son and niece in Miami Beach. Rabbi Jason made the service so meaningful for our family. His guidance and teaching over the course of the last year was phenomenal. Zoom was easy for the kids to use, and he worked around scheduling challenges. We plan to work with Rabbi Jason for my younger son’s bar mitzvah in a couple years! I’d 100% recommend Rabbi Jason to anyone looking for an amazing and unique bar mitzvah experience.”
– Susie & Jared S. – Miami, Florida
“Rabbi Jason is amazing! My son has dyslexia and ADHD and had never read a word of Hebrew before beginning with Rabbi Jason 18 months before his Bar Mitzvah. I knew there was no way my son would be successful working with the tutors at my temple, who are great but have no experience working with neuroatypical kids. At first, my son was not enthusiastic about weekly lessons over Zoom. Rabbi Jason managed to bond with him and become a mentor and positive influence as well as a Hebrew teacher. Thanks to Rabbi Jason, my son can fluently recite the most important prayers, chanted his portion without missing a beat, and feels great about the experience. If you are looking for an “outside the box” path towards a meaningful Bar or Bat Mitzvah, Rabbi Jason Miller is the perfect choice.”
– Laura & Danny R. – Washington, DC
“Rabbi Jason Miller saved my son’s Bar Mitzvah and made it a wonderful unforgettable experience. After our local Rabbi could no longer do our son’s service in person we were stuck. With a quick online search we found Rabbi Jason at Mitzvah Rabbi who worked with my son via Zoom to get ready for his bar mitzvah and then flew in to New Jersey the day before the service and flew back to Detroit right afterwards for another bar mitzvah. We loved Rabbi Jason Miller. We felt like we knew him for ages even though the morning of the bar mitzvah was the first time we met in person. Our guests raved about how wonderful the service was and how personalized it was. Rabbi Jason was friendly and warm and inviting; and loved to take all the pictures we asked of him. I can’t say enough about how he made our son’s day so super special and memorable. Thank you again for all that you did to help us.”
– Kim L. – New Jersey
“Rabbi Jason is wonderful! We met Rabbi Jason through a friend and we are so glad we connected. He educated our daughter through Zoom and it was a great experience for her.

– Michelle Z. – Grand Rapids, Michigan
“The Mitzvah Rabbi, Rabbi Jason, is not only an amazing Rabbi, he’s a wonderful person. His tutoring sessions were insightful, helpful, and warm. My son took to him in a way you would hope your child would feel about his Rabbi, as did our entire family. We opted for a small, intimate Bar Mitzvah service in Florida and it was absolutely perfect. Rabbi Jason guided us through every step of the process. I could go on and on about how grateful we are to have found him online. Highly recommend.”
– Jen Marini – Las Vegas, Nevada
“Rabbi Jason did all the Bnei Mitzvah preparations over Zoom with my kids, on a perfect level that they could accomplish. When our plans fell through for Israel, he quickly adapted and helped me plan and execute a perfect Bnei Mitzvah closer to home, in under a week. I could not have pulled this off without your help and guidance, thank you for making their day special and perfect!!”
– Melissa W. – Chicago, IL (Destination B’nai Mitzvah in Orlando, Florida)

– Samantha J. – Toronto, Canada
“I cannot recommend Rabbi Miller enough! Our daughter had an instant rapport with him the moment they met on Zoom. He made the lessons fun, and the entire process of learning the service and Torah portion stress-free. He was always willing to work with our schedule so that our daughter could feel free to participate in other extracurricular activities and family travel without sacrificing her preparation for the Bat Mitzvah. The service itself was exactly the Bat Mitzvah we wanted for our daughter: warm, personal, and meaningful for our family and friends.

“GAME CHANGER! After 3 failed Rabbi recommendations and attempts to get my son Bar Mitzvah’d, I found Rabbi Jason! My son immediately connected with him. The zoom preparation was easy and consistent. Rabbi worked with my son, encouraged him and provided him with everything needed to have a solid Bar Mitzvah experience. I planned a zoom ceremony, but fate stepped in and the Rabbi was here in Los Angeles for another family’s Bar Mitzvah so we were beyond blessed to end up with the Rabbi and his Torah here at our home. We had the BEST Zoom ceremony with about 100 guests streaming live. Everyone told me how it was the very experience and how much they liked the Rabbi. The ceremony was memorable and fun. My son was so prepared and did a great job. Don’t look further. Rabbi Jason is all you need!!”

The bar mitzvah wouldn’t have happened without the care of Rabbi Jason. The service was absolutely beautiful. He let us to make it personal and meaningful to us. Everyone commented that it was very unique and totally fit our son’s personality. He even attended his school bar mitzvah service. We can’t wait for our daughter to work with Rabbi Jason soon!”
Todd & Rachel M. – West Bloomfield, Michigan
“Rabbi Jason: I can’t even tell you how many phone calls and texts I have received telling me it was the most wonderful and moving service they had attended in a long time! You made Nico’s Bar Mitzvah beautiful and meaningful. As you know, having a religious “passage” outside of a synagogue was a new experience for us, and you took a genuine interest to get to know Nico and our family in such a personal and unique level. I loved hearing that you are so passionate about leading teenagers and it is this passion that I am sure will leave Nico with a lifelong positive feeling about his religion and heritage. Yesterday was the first Monday without your mentoring sessions for Nico and he asked me “no more Rabbi Jason then?”. He had such great enthusiasm to connect with you! You have a gift with kids and adults and our family will be eternally grateful. I am so glad we found you! Thank you thank you!”

For both of them he put together a beautiful booklet for the ceremony explaining everything that was going on to my guests with all of the prayers in Hebrew as well as English and phonetically so everyone could follow along. He has a great program and layout. Thank you thank you thank you. I’m so glad that we found you. We feel so lucky.”

He was great with my son, who is reserved and only wanted a few people present, and figured out his comfort level. Rabbi Jason was flexible and always responded to questions thoughtfully. It was a beautiful experience from start to finish.”
– Wendy F. – Chelsea, Michigan

– Brad S. – Miami Beach, Florida
“Rabbi Jason Miller did an amazing job at my daughter’s Bat Mitzvah! Would highly recommend? She was pretty nervous and he did a great job making her feel comfortable! Thank you so much ? We also had a lot of guests who had never been to a Bar or Bat Mitzvah and he did a great job of explaining it all! We got lots of compliments on the service!”
– Rachel C. – Grosse Ile, Michigan
“My daughter was bat mitzvahed this past weekend and Rabbi Miller was amazing! He tutored my daughter in less than a year and she did wonderfully. Those who attended the ceremony stated they learned a ton from the rabbi and that he did a great job explaining things to those who have never attended one before. Highly recommend!!”
– Jennifer M. – Jacksonville, South Carolina
“Rabbi Jason was absolutely amazing and cannot recommend him enough. We struggled for months to figure out how to do a non-traditional b’nai mitzvah with our twins. From day 1, Rabbi Jason was accommodating, flexible, encouraging and engaging. The girls really enjoyed meeting and learning from him. The whole process was enjoyable and pretty much stress-free for all of us. He was open to our thoughts, ideas and suggestions, and ended up co-creating a ceremony that made us all feel like it represented our values and wants. So many people commented on how unique and perfect the ceremony was. He was amazing!”
– Ignacio J. – Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
“Rabbi Jason was very flexible and made the commitment to time and effort it took to prepare my son over zoom for a wonderful destination Bar Mitzvah. Spending time with him was a delight for my family and I.”
– Brian & Jill F. – Parkland, Florida
“Rabbi Jason is incredible! He’s easy to work with, good with reluctant learners, and prepares a beautiful service.”
– Bethany F. – San Carlos, California
“Rabbi Jason did an excellent job tutoring my son and then conducting his Bar Mitzvah. 2020-2021 has been a challenging year and having a Bar Mitzvah during this time hasn’t been easy. Rabbi Jason developed an excellent working relationship with my son and the service was very nice. It was a worthwhile and rewarding experience that I would recommend to anyone.”
– Alex S. – Flint, Michigan
“Rabbi Jason is the absolute best. He customizes each Mitzvah to make the Bar/Bat Mitzvah child feel so special. He allows the child to be confident, comfortable and enjoy the whole experience. Our son said his Bar Mitzvah was the best day of his life. A big part of that was due to his relationship with Rabbi Jason.”
– Leslee S. – Penn Valley, Pennsylvania (Philadelphia)
“We recently had a wonderful experience with Rabbi Jason officiating at our son’s Bar Mitzvah. He was incredibly warm and kind to us and to our friends and family. He made the service accessible to all our guests, explaining different traditions, which we appreciated for those who were unfamiliar with the ceremony. We loved the personalized prayer book, to which were able to add our own readings, as well as include many different participants. So many of our guests commented on how beautiful and special it was. We were delighted with how it all turned out. Our son, who originally did not want a Bar Mitzvah as he didn’t feel comfortable having it at a synagogue, has now completely changed his tune and is trying to convince his sister to have one!”
– Ariella S. – Deerfield, Massachusetts
“As a parent, we are entrusted with the challenge of building a good foundation for our child, including a strong religious belief. In these challenging times, we reviewed several paths to provide a meaningful Bar-Mitzvah ceremony for our son. From our first meeting, Rabbi Jason not only connected with our son, but he connected with us in a very meaningful way. He laid out a very concise plan with flexibility and a meaningful Bar-Mitzvah ceremony. We have never doubted our decision and hope that he is able to bring this joy to many more families.”
– Marc A. – Bronx, New York
“This Rabbi does not need an internet review- he is simply the BEST! After tutoring and mentoring my son for just over a year he learned all and everything to perform the most perfect bar mitzvah ceremony. Rabbi Miller is personable, patient, funny, kind, relatable to kids, and cool! He understands kids and he keeps them on track. He provides the most personal touch to the service it seemed like we were family He really got to know and respect my son. He provides a beautiful booklet for everyone to follow and keep for the ceremony. So much more personal than in a temple. The service was actually interesting and directly connected to my son and our family. There is nothing negative- just use Rabbi Jason Miller!!!!!”
– Lara & Eric S. – Birmingham, Michigan
“Thank you so very much for pulling it all together for my son’s bar mitzvah in Atlanta. You brought humor, warmth, laughter, and a genuineness to the service and made Zach feel comfortable and confident!”
– Belinda M. – Atlanta, Georgia
“We love working with Rabbi Jason. Rabbi Jason Miller has done an excellent job preparing many of my family and friends’ Bar/Bat Mitzvah teens for their upcoming ceremonies. We have personally had the pleasure to work with Rabbi Jason. He is professional yet personable. He is flexible and helps to design a service that fits the needs of the teen and their families. Both his clergy capacity and his technology skills were extremely helpful when we found ourselves scrambling to rearrange our son’s Mitzvah plans during the pandemic. I can’t say enough about the wonderful experience our son had at his Bar Mitzvah due to Rabbi Jason’s willingness to pivot and still honor the traditions important to our family. Rabbi worked with Harrison to make him comfortable, feel confident and make the service personalized and extremely special. We highly recommend Rabbi Jason Miller to many and will continue to do so again and again.”
– Danielle R. – Novi, Michigan
“Rabbi Jason created an amazing evening for the bat mitzvah of our twin daughters. I can’t tell you how many people came to us to tell us how great Rabbi Jason is and asking us how we found him. He was kind, patient, reassuring and encouraging every step of the way. And Rabbi Jason entertained our changes and ideas all the way to the end. It is safe to say that our girls would not have gotten there without his guidance.”
– Melissa H. – Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
“Thank you so much for working with our family over the past few months for our sons’ virtual b’nai mitzvah on Zoom. The boys enjoyed the process and felt confident. You made it stress-free and enjoyable for us and our guests. The service was outstanding! We couldn’t have done it without you. We cannot recommend you highly enough.”
– Lillian & Jeffrey W. – Boca Raton, Florida
“Rabbi Jason Miller is the best in my humble opinion. My son had a crazy hockey schedule. Temple just wasn’t an option for us. My son worked for 13 months with Rabbi Jason mostly via FaceTime. He started out dreading it. He quickly changed and looked forward to his sessions with Rabbi Jason. My son enjoyed every session with Rabbi Jason. He did such an amazing job at his service and I was so proud and it was all because of Rabbi Miller. He is such a warm, funny and genuine man. He is now our Rabbi for life. We all adore him and are a little sad it’s now all over. Thank you so much!! I just can’t express enough how amazing you are!”
– Kim & Craig S. – Birmingham, Michigan
“Wow!!! There is no way there are enough words to express our gratitude for the amazing job that Rabbi Miller did with our twins!!! The time and attentiveness that he took with our boys was amazing and we will always be grateful for making such an incredible memory for our our family!!!”
– Craig L. – Dallas, Texas
“Rabbi Jason Miller has been so wonderful to our family! We are unaffiliated with a synagogue, but he is our family’s rabbi. He created the most beautiful bar mitzvah ceremony for our son. It was very meaningful and he made it very special. We are so grateful for Rabbi Jason, who will soon be officiating our daughter’s bat mitzvah too!”
– Marcie W. – Bloomfield Hills, Michigan
“Rabbi Jason Miller is a fantastic colleague of mine. I met Jason a few years ago through our seminary when the dean of our school introduced us. It is rare to find a rabbi that is so open-minded, flexible, caring, and passionate about making Bnei Mitzvah experiences as meaningful as possible for children and families. Rabbi Jason is what I would call a “cool rabbi” someone that kids really love working with and he makes Judaism and Jewish learning “cool,” accessible, and fun for his students. We have worked together many times and I could not recommend him more highly. He is a fantastic rabbi, teacher, and colleague. If you want a special and unique experience that you will remember Rabbi Jason is the way to go.”
– Rabbi Danielle Gobuty Eskow – Online Jewish Learning
“Rabbi Jason made our Mitzvah a wonderful experience from start to finish and helped tutor my son through challenges that helped him have an exceptional experience that our whole family was proud of. Rabbi Jason also created a program for attendees, took many pictures, and made the whole experience memorable. He came all the way to Atlanta to be there during our zoom bar mitzvah and led it perfectly from start to finish. We highly recommended Mitzvah Rabbi for your life cycle event!”
– Lee G. – Fayetteville, Georgia
“Rabbi Jason Miller did such a wonderful job preparing our son for his bar mitzvah. He truly lived up to his philosophy that no adolescent should stress about their bar/bat mitzvah! He figured out early on how our son learned best, and what motivated him. At times, when our son or I had any concerns about his progress, Rabbi Jason remained positive and reassuring. I think it was this consistent positivity and reassurance that helped our son (a kid who’s been known to get anxious, a lot!) read his prayers, Torah portion and D’var Torah, on his big day, with poise and confidence that just blew us all away!! Rabbi Jason also led the service with just the right combination of reverence and humor. Rabbi Jason is so down to earth, and showed his true “menschiness” by going above and beyond his role as tutor and mentor to help make our son’s entire bar mitzvah celebration very meaningful!! We could not be happier with the way everything turned out on bar mitzvah day! We highly recommend Rabbi Jason Miller to anyone looking to do a more individualized bar/bat mitzvah service.
– Alison W. – West Bloomfield, Michigan

– Jennifer L. – Bloomfield Hills, Michigan
“Rabbi Jason did an outstanding job! Before the bat mitzvah, he helped prepare our daughter via Facetime and worked diligently with us to create a personalized bat mitzvah siddur (prayer book) for our guests. He did an absolutely terrific job officiating the ceremony. He made my family and all of the guests feel very welcome with his warm personality. We really enjoyed having him. In addition, he brought along Steve Jarosz, an amazing acoustic guitarist, who filled the room with beautiful music. Together, they created just the right spiritual atmosphere we desired for such a wonderful occasion.”
– Michael & Janis L. – Kalamazoo, Michigan
“What a wonderful experience our entire family had with Rabbi Jason. Our son Evan was always excited to study with Rabbi, he made Hebrew and studying the Torah fun. Rabbi Jason led a beautiful, meaningful and personal Bar Mitzvah service. We are so grateful we met Rabbi Jason at such an important time in our family’s life.”
– Maria & Steve G. – Bloomfield Hills, Michigan
“Rabbi Miller, you were a huge part of making this weekend so special. From the kind and supportive advice you gave Jonah in the weeks leading up to his bar mitzvah to the comfortable yet sacred tone you set during the service, we are so grateful that you were part of this event. Thank you for everything!”
– Dara M. – Toledo, Ohio
“Oh my God! We weren’t even sure our son would have a bar mitzvah ceremony and then we were referred to Rabbi Jason. He created the absolute perfect bar mitzvah service. He figured out what would be the most meaningful ceremony for our family and created it. We bonded with Rabbi Jason very quickly and he has become OUR rabbi. We’re so grateful for him and will be recommending him to everyone we know. He made every moment leading up to Ty’s special day so meaningful and we cannot thank him enough. It was meant to be that he was the rabbi who helped us reach the special moment of our son’s bar mitzvah.”
– Cory & Bryan E. – Commerce, Michigan
“Thank you, Rabbi Jason, for helping me fulfill my dream of having a bar mitzvah. You helped me go far beyond what I thought I was capable of!”
– Jack B. – Howell, Michigan
“We hired Rabbi Jason over a year before our Son’s Bar Mitzvah. Our Son is obviously 13, but has difficulty reading & is speech delayed but super eager to learn new things. Rabbi Jason has an amazing reputation for working with all students no matter their disability and was a perfect fit for our Son. For 30 minutes every two weeks for just over a year, Rabbi Jason and our Son logged in to Zoom for their sessions. Rabbi Jason took the time to truly get to know our Son and Family, but at the same time training him for his Mitzvah at his comfort level, but also pushing for more and more each time. Nearly a year later our Son was able to recite prayers in front of a small intimate gathering of his family and friends at our home where he was comfortable the most. We as parents were super nervous knowing that Rabbi Jason and our Son never meet in person until about 1 hour prior to the Ceremony (Only on zoom prior)…but they hit it off and our Son was super comfortable. Rabbi Jason did a phenomenal job with the service, making not only our family laugh and smile but also cry in joyful tears. If you are looking for that personalized Mitzvah service Rabbi Jason is the one to call…I know we’ll be contacting Rabbi Jason again for our Daughter’s Mitzvah in a few years!”
– A. B. – Commerce Township, Michigan
“Thank you to Rabbi Jason Miller for making Aiden’s Bar Mitzvah everything we ever hoped it would be! It was personal, intimate and perfectly tailored to our family’s needs. Rabbi Jason connected so well with Aiden and really made sure that everyone was comfortable with the process. We could not be happier!”
– Tom & Julie S. – Novi, Michigan
“Rabbi Miller was just the right person for our son’s Bar Mitzvah. He is a kind, thoughtful, and inquisitive person, and spent a lot of time with us understanding our son’s style, motivation and personality. He worked with us to ensure that we had just the type of Bar Mitzvah ceremony that we wanted. During the Bar Mitzvah, he helped Noah to feel comfortable and also engaged all the participants, both family and friends. His warmth and clear joy during our special celebration made us all feel wonderful. I give Rabbi Miller my highest recommendation.”
– Pam C. – Chicago, Illinois
“Rabbi Jason made the entire process super comfortable and stress-free for our child. The ceremony was even better than anything we could have imagined. I can’t thank him enough for his genuine warmth and sincerity.”
– Lindsay B. – Birmingham, Michigan
“Les and I and Harry (of course) want to thank Rabbi Jason Miller very much for his extraordinary patience, flexibility and help in our son’s Bar Mitzvah preparations. It was clearly a wonderful day for all of us involved and his contributions were wonderful. It was such a special feeling to have him so warmly welcomed by the Jewish community. Again, we are very grateful to Rabbi Jason.”
– Abigail and Leslie Wexner – New Albany, Ohio
“We first contact Rabbi Jason at the end of 2019 to schedule our daughter’s bat mitzvah. Then COVID happened and we rescheduled her bat mitzvah date 4 times(!) and every time we changed the date Rabbi Jason was totally accommodating about it. We finally had a virtual bat mitzvah for her using ZOOM but Rabbi Jason came to our home to lead the service and make sure everything was perfect, which it was. He not only brought a Torah, but also brought his smile, charm and sense of humor. He made the entire bat mitzvah even more than we had hoped for. We will certainly continue to tell our friends about him and we know we’ll see him at more mitzvahs in the future.”
– Cheryl B.
