At Majdal Bakery in South Philly, the smell of warm dough escapes the oven as 29-year-old Kenan Rabah hums along to a song by Fairuz. As he kneads and folds flatbreads the way he learned as a boy, he tries to answer a question that has always had a complicated answer: Where are you from? “This is an easy question for most people, but not for us in the Golan Heights,” said Rabah. “Our travel documents state that we have an ‘undefined’ nationality.” 📝 by Elissa Odeh 📸 courtesy of Kenan Rabah (fb)
