Hi Kim,
Thanks so much for the kind words and for flagging this! I checked, and the page is actually working correctly — it did switch to the Israel calendar.
The reason it looks similar to the Diaspora list is that Passover in Israel is 7 days (one day of Yom Tov at the start, one at the end), while outside Israel it’s 8 days (two days of Yom Tov at the start and end). So for 2027:
Israel: Apr 22 (1st day), Apr 23–27 (Chol HaMoed), Apr 28 (last day)
Diaspora: Apr 22–23 (1st two days), Apr 24–27 (Chol HaMoed), Apr 28–29 (last two days)
The “Apr 21” date you see is Erev Pesach (the eve), not an extra festival day.
Let me know if anything still looks off — happy to dig further!
