The Oslo Accords and the “peace process” have failed, yet for twenty-five years we’ve held to the same formula. The Israel Victory Project is shifting this paradigm, placing the onus on the Palestinians to end their rejectionism of the Jewish state and acknowledge defeat in their war to destroy Israel. To date, President Trump has taken many actions promoted by IVP, including recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, cutting off funding to the Palestinian Authority and UNRWA, rejecting Palestinian claims of a “right of return” for 5.3 million “refugees”, and closing the PLO office in Washington, D.C. Mr. Kimball will offer a behind-the-scenes briefing on the events leading to these actions, how IVP is further advancing these policies, and what to expect next.

EJ Kimball, Director of the Israel Victory Project at the Middle East Forum, is a foreign policy and national security consultant with over 12 years of experience working in Washington, D.C. Mr. Kimball lead the efforts to create the bipartisan Congressional Israel Victory Caucus in April 2017, helped impel passage of the Taylor Force Act, and is building a growing coalition of foreign policy professionals in support of the principles of IVP.

We’ve come a long way, baby … A loving tribute to Ohio wife and mother turned longtime Arizona resident who made herself into a national superstar as a best-selling author and syndicated journalist lauded for opening up the secret world of the mother and housewife.

First of all, hand drumming is good for you, just ask any occupational therapist.  It’s also a great way to be social, and it’s fun, and challenging.  In this class, we will be learning how to play west african and caribbean rhythms,  In order to play these rhythms, we will also have to learn the three basic sounds that a hand drum makes:  open tone, slap, and bass tone.  Primarily, we will be playing conga drums, as well as bell, shekere, low drums, blocks and claves.  Playing together is the real magic, of course…..and we will do a lot of that.

$30 rental fee for conga drum due on the first day of class.  Student will have that drum for the duration of the class.
