Corrections need to be made, near the bottom of that Web page, to eliminate embarrassing calendrical errors.
 
This is about factual errors.
This is NOT! about doctrinal matters open to debate or argument.
 
The Web page offers this chart of Biblical Hebrew Holy Days:
-passover (aka pesach) is always Nisan 14
-unleavened bread is Nisan 15    <---<< ERROR!
-first fruits is Nisan 17    <---<< ERROR!
-pentecost (aka shavuot) is Sivan 7    <---<< ERROR!
-trumpets (aka rosh hashanah) is Tishrei 1
-Atonement (aka yom kippur) is Tishrei 10...Shmita years (every 7th year) and Jubilee (every 7th Shmita plus 1 yr for 50 years) are always announced on this date, which ocurrs around sept/oct.
-tabernacles (aka sukkot) is Tishrei 15-21
-shimini atzeret ???    <---<< ERROR!
 
But, the above chart contains factual errors (Compare: Leviticus 23):
-unleavened bread lasts for a week (7 days): Nisan 15-21
-first fruits is not on a fixed numerical calendar date, but is on a fixed calendar day: On a Hebrew's Sunday, the first Sunday following (after) The Passover, and occurs between Nisan 15-21 from year-to-year.
-pentecost is not on a fixed numerical calendar date, but is on a fixed calendar day: On a Hebrew's Sunday, 50 days from the first Sunday following (after) The Passover, and occurs between Sivan 5-11 from year-to-year.
-shimini atzeret is Tishrei 22: The Assembly Of The 8th Day (The Last Great Day) is missing from this list.
 
And, you might want to track-down any/all other Web pages which contain the same chart, or which contain the same erroneous calendrical information about these Biblical Hebrew Holy Days.
 
And, you might also like to make mention of the three [3] Hebrew High Holy Days, the Annual High Sabbaths, aka: The "Pilgrimage" Sabbaths.
Nisan 15 - The 1st day of Unleavened Bread - The day after The Passover.
Shavuot - Pentecost Sunday - 50 days from the first Sunday following (after) The Passover.
Tishrei 15 - The 1st day of Tabernacles - 5 days after Yom Kippur.
 
God has not specified Yom Kippur as a High Holy Day, no matter what today's Hebrews believe and practice.
