Robert Kasirer

Robert Kasirer is the Manager of the Kasirer Family Office, where he developed a national real estate investment and management company with a portfolio in 12 states. He also serves as President of the Kasirer Family Foundation (“KFF”) and remains active in its philanthropic work. The foundation supports educational institutions and Jewish causes by funding universities, schools, community organizations, camps, and programs that strengthen Jewish life. In 2022, Robert created the Neshamah Project Inc. in the United States and a related organization in Israel to build the Neshamah Platform and Neshamah App. These efforts were designed to offer a single digital space that includes music, Jewish learning, prayer, podcasts, videos, and short interactive experiences. The platform provides options for individuals and communities. It offers customizable sections where organizations, synagogues, schools, camps, on-campus groups, and content creators can share their material with a broader audience. His family’s history shapes his life. His parents were Holocaust survivors; his mother was imprisoned in Auschwitz, and his father was forced into labor. Most of their relatives were killed. Both were 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, and another was born in Los Angeles after the family immigrated. When the family arrived in 1954, Jewish life in Los Angeles was still developing. Robert Kasirer's parents helped establish schools, supported synagogues, and contributed to Jewish institutions locally, in New York, and in Israel. Their dedication strongly influenced him. At age 13, he attended a Jewish boarding school in New York, continuing his religious studies alongside secular education through university.
