      <link>https://padlet.com/charleslessin/about</link>
      <description>An alumnus of the University of Virginia, Charles Lessin graduated with a bachelor&#39;s degree in religious studies in 1981 and soon after launched The Jerusalem Connection, a nonprofit dedicated to cultivating awareness of Jewish history and observance. Still in operation, it provides grants and scholarships to nonprofits and students, respectively, and oversees The Jerusalem Connection Community Garden. Charles Lessin also founded the Jewish high school boys’ sleep-away summer camp experience Camp Binyan Torah, Inc., in 2004.

Complementing his community relations work in the Jewish community, Charles Lessin has served as president of Keneseth Beth Israel and Rudlin Torah Academy. Moreover, he has served as vice chairman of the board of the Virginia Israel Advisory Board since 2011.

In addition to his Judaism-related pursuits, Mr. Lessin has built more than 300 single-family homes in Virginia through his role as president of American Homecrafters. He has served in this capacity for more than 35 years, generating more than $90 million in sales for the business. He concurrently presides over the consulting firm B1 Technologies and is the owner of Pop&#39;s Bar and Grill, a 300-seat sports bar with an outdoor patio and more than 60 flat-screen TVs.
