This is so funny! My uncle, whose name is also Israel, was an engineer at a furniture manufacturing plant in Leningrad, where not too many people were familiar with this name, and he was generally known as Igor. So once a new newsletter of the plant came out and there was an article about him, which said "Israel Grigor'evna". He went to bitch about it to his boss, and the boss couldn't understand who this Israel Grigorievna was.
