What qualifications and training does Rabbi Shmuel Katz, Certified Mohel, have?

I trained extensively at the London School of Circumcision, where I gained incredible experience and received certification in Advanced Circumcision and Milah Skills. I also apprenticed under some of the most esteemed mohels in New York, refining my expertise in religious practices and parent interaction.

I studied and was rigorously tested on all the laws, sources, and customs surrounding the practice of Bris Milah, and received Rabbinic Ordination in Hilchos Milah from the Chief Rabbinate of Israel. Recognized as an expert in the field with a 99% mark on the Chief Rabbinate’s testing—internationally regarded as the gold standard—I regularly respond to questions from colleagues, offering guidance and support based on my extensive experience.

With over 10 years of experience performing circumcisions and Bris Milahs across America, England, and Israel, I bring a high level of expertise to every procedure. Since relocating to Chicago in 2021, I have been dedicated to providing expert care for families seeking circumcision in Chicago and the surrounding areas.
