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...

August 15, 2010. What happens when you wait. Posted by Rebecca McKinsey under Life. I received an e-mail this afternoon, one that made my heart stop for just a second as I read the subject line and first few words. The e-mail was sent to inform me that Herman Leonard. Herman Leonard was 87, a famous photographer known worldwide for his black-and-white photos of jazz legends taken during the mid-20th century. Self portrait. Photo from hermanleonard.com. I set out to write about him for. I have one regret.

Monthly Archives: July 2010. Kindle… iPad… books… Which do you prefer? Just throwing that out there. I love the feel of a book in my hands (old books especially), and a screen is just not the same, no matter how much the high-tech electronic ink helps disguise it to look like paper. With that said, I can’t deny that e-readers are revolutionizing the book world in the same way the Internet changed journalism. Amazon recently released an updated version of its popular Kindle. That its Kindle device has bee...

Monthly Archives: October 2011. Breaking news first vs. being right. Yesterday, Amanda Knox. Overturned her 2009 murder conviction and ended her four-year stint in Italian prison. There was some confusion on Twitter (and even major newspapers’ website. S), however, once the verdict was announced, about whether she was headed back to jail or walking free. Confidently proclaimed, “Guilty: Amanda Knox looks stunned as appeal against murder conviction is rejected.” Only it wasn’t. Continue reading →. Enter y...
