This booklet does not contain all the Hebrew prayers that exist for this feast. A machzor (prayer book with complete collections of prayers) can be hundreds of pages long. Rather, this guide is intended to provide an introduction and help you to say the basic prayers and brachot. The most important activities are briefly explained so that you can get started quickly and celebrate the festival without much preparation. You can simply open the booklet and read from it. The explanations can also be read out loud for everyone present.
