The result is that all dates from 1 Nisan through 29 (or 30) Cheshvan can each fall on one of four days of the week. Dates during Kislev can fall on any of six days of the week; during Tevet and Shevat, five days; and dates during Adar (or Adar I and II, in leap years) can each fall on one of four days of the week.
Note also that the date given for Simchat Torah is for outside of Israel. [1] On holidays marked "*", Jews are not permitted to work. Because the Hebrew calendar no longer relies on observation but is now governed by precise mathematical rules, it is possible to provide, for the future, the Gregorian calendar date on which a holiday will fall.
