Israel | Rebecca McKinsey

https://rebeccamckinsey.wordpress.com/israel

I spent a few months in Jerusalem for an internship at The Times of Israel. I chronicled some memories and photos here, and someday I might actually get around to writing up a final summary of what the experience was like for me. If you’re visiting this page for the first time and feel as though reading absolutely everything I’ve written would be fun, start at the bottom that’s where the oldest entries are and work your way up. Turning the streets black in Jerusalem. One of the few signs I could read.

March 17, 2014. It’s been 10 years since I was bald. Posted by Rebecca McKinsey under Life. I was the epitome of awkward when I was 13 (more than I am now; I know it’s difficult to imagine). No curves, glasses, braces instead of trying to work with these features, I decided I needed to add to them. Ten years ago today, I shaved my head through a program called St. Baldrick’s. 8221; kind of deal. St Baldrick’s has been a tradition in my family for years. Ten years ago, my father and two of my br...I can b...

OK, maybe only the immature ones like me dream of it, but most would agree some of the best stories are those that are so ridiculous or funny or heartbreaking or inspiring that they almost write themselves before you’ve typed even a word. First, the work of art that is the headline:. Drunk and boarish: swigging pig hogs 18 beers at campsite. Several journalis...
