Seems unlikely. Quarians are a very practical people - they have to be, it's the only way they can survive.

It occurred to me, as I was mulling the matter over earlier, that there's another point of commonality that was probably the hook that led quite a few of the earliest browsing quarians to the reference materials on Judaism in the first place. In fact, now that quasi-Judaism has taken hold in a corner of quarian culture, I expect the quarian modification of the catchphrase in question has spread to some of the non-Jewish parts of the Flotilla as well, such that the "recapture the homeworld" supporters now are in the habit of saying to each other, "Next year on Rannoch!"
