Expected behavior
Holidays should be displayed on the correct dates according to the Hebrew calendar, which usually starts in the evening before.
Actual behavior
Israel/Hebrew calendar holidays shown 1 day before the original day, and doesn't show the holiday's eve.
View holidays in September–October 2025
Examples:
"Rosh Hashanah" (Hebrew New Year) is shown on Monday and Tuesday: September 22nd and 23rd, actually it must shown on: Tuesday and Wednesday September 23 and 24.
In addition, an Hebrew holiday starts on the evening before the holiday itself, so this holiday's evening is missing as well (on this example, Rosh Hashanah Eve is on Monday, September 22nd, 2025 (Total, this holiday includes 1 Eve, 2 days).
"Yom Kippur" is shown on Wednesday, October 1st. Actually, Yom Kippur eve is on Wednesday, October 1st, and Yom Kippur is on Thursday, October 2nd (Total, this holiday includes 1 Eve and 1 Day).
Screenshots/Screen recordings
Green = Holidays calendar (from Fossify's calendar source). Wrong dates.
Red = Hebrew holidays (Jewish holidays, from Google calendar). Correct dates.
Additional information
This affects all Jewish holidays. Might need to align with official Hebrew calendar (e.g., via Hebcal or similar sources).
Thanks in advance.
