Also they left off one of the Jewish holidays shmini Atzeret (day of assembly) which is part of Simchat Torah  and also sukkot should have an asterisk as well. Also it needs to be stated that the Jewish holidays start in the early evening 

The days of significance is that the first two days of a holiday are days of religious observance and also the last days of a holiday
