I found this excellent excerpt of a poem by Joel Rosenberg, also:

I cite our landless outposts of diaspora… I cite our neighboring quarters in the walled Jerusalem, our holy men in black, our past in Scripture, and our overlapping sacred sites. I cite our reverence for family ties, our Middle Eastern food, our enterprise, our immigration histories, our ironic manner, our eccentric uncles. Our clustering in cities, our cherishing of books, our vexed and aching homelands.
