Rabbi Jason Miller
Rabbi Jason brings you the Jewish Zeitgeist
Rabbi Jason Miller is an entrepreneurial rabbi who blogs at http://blog.rabbijason.com. The Detroit Free Press has called him “the most tech-savvy Jewish leader in metro Detroit” and the Huffington Post ranked him among the top ten Jewish Twitter users. He's worked on college campuses with Hillel, at Jewish summer camps, and has gained a reputation as a pied piper with Jewish teens.
He can talk about sports and movies just as easily as he can talk about Torah and Jewish law. He has appeared on the "Mojo in the Morning" radio show, the "Fox Morning Show" and CNN's "Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer". He is the president of Access Computer Technology, an IT and social media consulting firm based in West Bloomfield, Michigan. An expert on technology's effect on modern Jewish life, Rabbi Jason is a highly sought after speaker on the impact of the Internet and new media on Jewish education and the global Jewish community.
He writes the "Jewish Techs" blog for The New York Jewish Week and the "Jews in the Digital Age" column for the Detroit Jewish News. He is also a frequent contributor to the Huffington Post and the Jewish Telegraphic Agency (JTA). Rabbi Jason has appeared in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, The Forward, Jerusalem Post, Gizmodo, Yahoo! News, and AOL News.
Trained as a kosher supervisor, he is also the founder and rabbinic director of Kosher Michigan - a kosher certification initiative. His mission through Kosher Michigan is to increase the number of kosher options in the marketplace while keeping the cost of kosher food at acceptable levels.
