Robert Kasirer manages his family office, where he helped build a national real estate investment and management company with a diversified portfolio across multiple states. His work has included investment oversight, property management, business planning, and long-term leadership. He also serves as president of his family foundation, where his charitable efforts focus on education and Jewish causes. Through this role, he supports institutions and programs that encourage learning, community connection, identity, and continuity for future generations.
Robert founded two nonprofit organizations in 2022 to support the development of a digital platform and an app focused on Jewish life. The platform brings together music, learning, prayer, podcasts, videos, and short interactive experiences in one accessible space. It is designed for both individuals and communities. It also gives schools, synagogues, camps, campus groups, organizations, and creators a way to share their own content through customized digital spaces.
Kasirer was shaped by a family history marked by Holocaust survival, painful loss, and a lasting responsibility to remember. His mother was imprisoned during that period, while his father was sent to forced labor. Many relatives were killed, leaving a deep influence on the family’s values and purpose. His parents came from a small mountain village, and his father began working at a young age after losing his own father.
Robert Kasirer was born overseas after his parents were liberated, married, and waited for permission to immigrate to a new country. He and one sister were born there before the family later settled in a large American city, where another sister was born. After arriving, his parents helped strengthen Jewish community life by supporting schools, synagogues, and educational institutions at a time when local resources for Jewish families were limited.
Robert grew up with the belief that memory should be carried forward through education, service, and continued commitment to Jewish identity. His parents wanted the loss of six million Jews during the Holocaust to remain connected to living faith, learning, and community. This purpose influenced him from an early age. As a teenager, he attended a Jewish boarding school, where he studied secular subjects and became deeply involved in Jewish learning.
Kasirer pursued higher education and later completed law school before passing the state bar. He began his career as an attorney and helped form a law firm with associates, focusing on public finance and major financing matters nationwide. He later worked with another firm before joining his father in business. Together, they developed, owned, and operated commercial properties, with much of their work centered on shopping centers.
Robert Kasirer continued operating and growing the family real estate company after his father passed away in 2005. Over time, his two sons and son-in-law joined the family office and its related businesses. They now lead the company and manage daily operations while he serves as chairman. This transition reflects his commitment to family continuity, responsible leadership, and careful stewardship of work built through years of effort and shared responsibility.
Robert sees his digital Jewish platform as a way to help Jewish life remain meaningful as communities and technology change. He believes each generation must find its own path to tradition, learning, prayer, and belonging, especially when some younger people feel distant from traditional institutions. He has been married for 48 years, has four children and thirteen grandchildren, and enjoys skiing, hiking, and traveling while staying grounded in family, heritage, and community.
