Etymology edit
Noun edit
machzor (plural machzors or machzorim)
- (Judaism) A prayerbook for a Jewish holiday.
Usage notes edit
Most commonly refers to the prayerbooks for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, because their liturgies are so expanded from everyday prayer. However, machzor properly refers to a prayerbook meant for any Yom Tov.
