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.
