I think you have left it way to late I'm afraid...
From London at least, people book a year in advance, or as soon as the tickets go on sale for Passover.
And if you are not one of the first, you end up paying over $1000 which is what the tickets are at the moment with LY. (which kind of makes the NYC-TLV fare seem reasonable...)
The cheapest Economy BA ticket from London for these dates is currently almost $1600!

I am so happy I managed to get a couple of seats with BA using miles for the exact same dates (30-11) as soon as they became available, 12 months before!

Trying to use LY miles at this time is impossible even if you try booking a year in advance.
I don't believe for one second they open any redemptions seats from London for this period.
