Masorti prayer book includes De Haan’s homoerotic-religious verses for Yom Kippur.
Evidence
It is not only the Haredim who have used De Haan as a model for religious thought and liturgy. These verses appear in the High Holiday prayer book of the Masorti movement of Great Britain, to be read on Yom Kippur: All is God’s Man has separated lust and sorrow. But God holds them together like day and night. I know lust. I know intense suffering. I praise God’s one name God’s Gifts My most pious songs have I written On rising from my sinful bed. — Ivan Davidson Kalmar, Derek Penslar, Orientalism and the Jews, 444
