It has been helpfully pointed out to me that I referenced the wrong
Israeli society in my post the other day. My research to find the
Jerusalem neighborhood was >from the Israel Genealogy Research
Association (IGRA), whose website is genealogy.org.il. The referenced
collection was "Voters List Knesset Israel 1942."

http://www.archives.gov.il/publication/MIFKAD47/ These records are
not indexed, but instead searchable by Jerusalem neighborhood. I was
able to find relatives after considerable effort by searching on the
Israeli Genealogical Society's database, which includes voter lists

from the early 1940s that states an individual's neighborhood. Then I

last name (although not necessarily in perfect order).

There is no English search, so you have to be able to read Hebrew.
2. 1938-1939 German registration forms >from the Jerusalem Consulate
This collection is of significant value for those with German ancestry
that went to Jerusalem. There is seemingly a registration form for
every family that was a German citizen and living in Jerusalem as of
1938/early 1939. Each form includes birth date, place of birth,
parents' names, their birth dates and locations, and children's names.
The entries are ordered alphabetically. I submitted a request for
each entry to be digitized, but seemingly forgot the file for surnames
ranging >from S to Sch, so that was now requested to be added.
The collection is only for those living in Jerusalem--it does not
