You are correct. I too am in Jerusalem and there certainly has not been an
English phone book in the last few years. That one was sort of a fiasco as
they attempted to list first names separately but forgot to remove the vav
tying the names of family members together eg. the usual Cohen, Reuven
v'Sara. So they had a long list of first names beginning with the vav -
v'Sara.
