My father’s family was from Haifa and was forced to flee to the four corners of the earth. Amerikkka, Great Britain, Australia, South America. I wish your family well.
Born in Jordan to parents expelled from Haifa and Jerusalem, I spent 15 years there before moving across Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, and Bahrain. Now, I divide my time between the UK, my permanent base and the south of France, which I also consider home. Each summer, I return to Lebanon for a few weeks, reconnecting with my roots. Estranged and shaped by displacement, my journey reflects resilience, reinvention, and a deep sense of cultural continuity across borders.
