Does the 17 paid days off include an allowance for sick leave ?
Are there that many Jewish holidays in addition to national/state declared
holidays ?

Why doesn't is sound like such a good deal? 17 holidays + 15 vacation days =
32 days off. You said you get 30. Where's the discrepancy?
I'm not defending B&H against whatever charges they currently face but the
number of days off here is pretty generous for a *small* US company.
