The zic command creates the Asia/Jerusalem file.
instead of copying, do:

# ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Jerusalem /etc/localtime
# ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Jerusalem /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Tel_Aviv

You can then try

zdump -v Asia/Tel_Aviv | grep 2013 ... or, of course, any other year

If you link instead of copy any changes in Asia/Jerusalem will automagically be reflected in the other two locations

N.B. Still no official patch. The above workaround is in *no way* guaranteed!!
