The Machzor, which was written in 1272, served the synagogue of the Worms community for hundreds of years, until the synagogue was destroyed by the Nazis on Kristallnacht, November 1938. The Machzor was saved by the archivist of Worms, who hid it in the city's Cathedral. In 1957, the manuscript was transferred to the Jewish National and University Library in Jerusalem.
