Yaki Reissner Reveals Grandmother Disinherited Him for Working

Real estate developer and television personality Yaki Reissner revealed in an interview on Reshet 13's "Asnaheim" program that his grandmother disinherited him for choosing to work. When asked about the inheritance, Reissner recounted his grandmother telling him, "You want to go to work? You'll manage on your own." Reissner grew up in a Haredi-Lithuanian family in Bnei Brak and studied at the Hebron and Mir yeshivas. However, at age 20, he began working as a warehouse worker at a construction site. He later founded the real estate company Reisdor, which became significant in the industry, while also entering the film and television world as a producer. In recent years, he has become a familiar face on screen as a matchmaker on the Haredi dating show "Vart."

During the interview, Reissner is expected to discuss the behind-the-scenes aspects of Haredi matchmaking, including genetic testing before marriage and reviewing potential candidates' photos, a process the interviewer compared to "Tinder." Reissner also spoke about his personal life, including his separation from his wife after decades of marriage, and how his personal changes over the years affected his relationship and his place within Haredi society.
