Real Estate Entrepreneur Yaki Reissner Recounts Family Disinheritance

Yaki Reissner, a prominent real estate entrepreneur and owner of the Reissdor group, shared a personal story of estrangement from his family due to his life choices. Reissner, also known for his work in film and television and his role as a matchmaker on the show "Vart" on Channel 13, appeared on the TV program "Asenhaim." During the interview, which aired on Channel 13, Reissner discussed the price he paid for choosing a path outside the norms of the Haredi community he grew up in. When asked by the host if his grandmother had disinherited him, Reissner recounted her words: "You want to go out and work? You'll manage on your own." Reissner, born in Bnei Brak to a Lithuanian Haredi family, is the grandson of Rabbi Abraham Reissner and the great-grandson of Rabbi Mordechai Yaakov Breish. He began his career at age 20 at the construction company C. Landau, eventually becoming head of procurement and entrepreneurship. At 25, he founded Reissdor in 2005, a company specializing in residential neighborhoods and commercial centers, including long-term rental projects. Reissner also ventured into film and television, co-producing the 2020 film "Good Boys," which explores the matchmaking industry. He also had a supporting role in the film as the husband of the matchmaker character. The film, released in September 2022, was one of the year's top 10 most-watched films, selling over 300,000 tickets. Reissner also produced and co-hosted the reality show "Vart" on Channel 13 with journalist and matchmaker Sarah Pechter.
