Robert Kasirer

Robert Kasirer is the Manager of the Kasirer Family Office, where he built a national real estate investment and management company with holdings in 12 states. He also serves as President of the Kasirer Family Foundation (“KFF”), which supports educational institutions and Jewish causes. Through this foundation, contributions have been directed to universities, schools, camps, and community organizations, as well as programs aimed at strengthening Jewish learning and engagement. In 2022, Robert founded the Neshamah Project Inc. in the United States, along with a related nonprofit in Israel, to develop the Neshamah Platform and Neshamah App. These efforts were created to offer a single digital environment that brings together music, Jewish learning, prayer, podcasts, videos, and short interactive experiences. The platform serves individuals and communities and includes customizable areas where organizations, synagogues, schools, camps, campus groups, and content creators can share their own material alongside a broad library. His family's story is profoundly shaped by survival. His parents were Holocaust survivors; his mother endured Auschwitz, and his father was forced into labor. Most of their relatives were killed. They came from a small village in the Carpathian Mountains, now part of Ukraine. After liberation, they married and lived in Austria while awaiting visas to the United States. He and a sibling were born there, while another was born later in Los Angeles after the family immigrated. When the family arrived in Los Angeles in 1954, Jewish educational and community resources were limited. His parents helped establish schools, supported synagogues, and extended their commitment to Jewish institutions in New York and Israel. Their dedication shaped his early years. At 13, he attended a Jewish boarding school in New York, continuing both religious and secular studies through university. Kasirer went on to attend New York University and a law school in New York. After passing the bar, he moved to Los Angeles, formed a law firm with two associates, and later joined a national firm before entering the real estate business with his father. After his father passed in 2005, he continued expanding the company. His sons and son-in-law now manage day-to-day operations while he serves as Chairman. He has been married for 48 years, has four children, and has 13 grandchildren. He enjoys skiing, hiking, and traveling, all of which continue to shape Robert Kasirer's life and work.
