Robert Kasirer

Robert Kasirer manages his family office, where he helped build a national real estate investment and management company with a diversified portfolio across 12 states. His work has included real estate investment, property ownership, management, and long-term business oversight. He also serves as president of his family foundation, where his giving supports education, Jewish causes, and community programs. His charitable focus reflects a steady commitment to helping institutions strengthen learning, identity, and connection for future generations. Robert was shaped by the experiences of his parents, who survived the Holocaust after facing imprisonment, forced labor, and deep family loss. They came from a small village in the Carpathian Mountains, in a region that is now part of Ukraine. After liberation, they married and waited in Austria before moving to America. Their journey helped form his respect for faith, responsibility, family, and the need to preserve Jewish life through education and community. Kasirer grew up in a home where Jewish learning, tradition, and service were treated as important responsibilities. After his family settled in California in 1954, his parents helped support schools, religious institutions, and community resources when local options were limited. They believed younger generations should remain connected to their heritage and identity. Their example guided his later path in philanthropy, business, and efforts to help Jewish life remain meaningful across changing times. Robert Kasirer pursued higher education in New York before completing law school and passing the state bar. He later moved to California and helped form a law firm with associates, focusing on public finance matters. His legal work included major financing projects across the country. He later joined his father in business, where they developed, owned, and operated commercial properties, especially shopping centers.
