Credit to Jewish Calendar Calculation in PHP. I did not use the code, but I did start with the algorithms here.
Credit to Ari Miller's PHP Extension for Jewish Dates and Zmanim specifically for providing the Hebrew strings for various items and some unit test ideas. I considered using the entire library but it did not fit exactly what I needed.
