… and the High Holyday Machzor That Followed (2024)

Abstract The ninth edition of the British Reform High Holyday Machzor was published in 2024 as a companion to the ‘Daily and Sabbath’ Siddur of 2008. Many of the innovations of the Siddur were incorporated or adapted in the new Machzor . Nevertheless, many new considerations emerged through the editorial process and reflect new liturgical requirements not just of the forty years since the Machzor 's 1985 predecessor but also the decade and a half since the Siddur . A draft version of the Erev Rosh Hashanah service was produced in 2014 and one for Rosh Hashanah morning in 2016. These were widely used by congregations who provided feedback to the Editorial Board. These booklets (and draft services) were often used in the intervening years in anticipation of the final two-volume publication. This was enthusiastically received by congregations adopting it in 2024 and a second printing immediately required for the following year.
