Question

This doesn't work. It only shows the Hebrew calendar dates and not the holidays. Was this process tested?

Sometimes Apple messes up on small things like that. In your case, the Hebrew calendar does not show holidays. Maybe if you report it to apple or wait for an update, it will show up.
