I was born in Puerto Rico

I was raised Jewish

I grew up Israeli

What do I call my home?

I ate falafel and hummus for lunch

Followed by a big plate of arroz con pollo for dinner

Mealtime always varied

So am I a blend?

I would drive to Condado to visit Abuela

I would fly to Florida to visit Safta

Abu would read El Nuevo DÍa

Saba would scroll through Haretz

But who am I?

No matter where I went

Israel was always the focus

My Jewish history always expanded

Us Jews, where all around

Am I only one thing?

No.

I have a nationality- Puerto Rican and Israeli

I have a religion-Judaism

I have a home- Puerto Rico

I am much more
