De Haan’s homoerotic verses entered mainstream Masorti Yom Kippur liturgy

These verses appear in the High Holiday prayer book of the Masorti movement of Great Britain, to be read on Yom Kippur: But God holds them together like day and night. — Ivan Davidson Kalmar, Derek Penslar, Orientalism and the Jews, 518
