Portrait: The haredi entrepreneur who wants to become ordinary

Ysrael Gurt, a 35-year-old entrepreneur from Bnei Brak, co-founded Reflectiz, a company specializing in website security. Growing up in a religious family in Haifa, Gurt developed a passion for programming from a young age, teaching himself English and coding without formal guidance. After leaving yeshiva to support his family, he began his career as a programmer, quickly distinguishing himself by independently discovering security vulnerabilities.

Gurt's expertise led him to ethical hacking, where he reported bugs to major companies and earned recognition and rewards, including a place in Google's Hall of Fame. With his earnings, he co-founded Reflectiz, which now serves major clients and has raised significant investment. Despite his success, Gurt maintains a modest lifestyle, using a basic mobile phone and valuing time with his family. He hopes for a future where religious entrepreneurs in technology are seen as unremarkable.
