Further information
This booklet does not contain all the Hebrew prayers associated with this festival. A Machzor (prayer book with complete collections of prayers) can easily be hundreds of pages long. This guide is intended to provide an introduction and help you recite the basic prayers and blessings.

The explanations can also be read aloud for everyone present.
