Best way to book LH F TLV-FRA-JFK (first leg is J). Does making two separate itineraries make it cheaper (because the first leg is actually J anyway)?

this can go a few ways.. If you can find a cheap way to FRA (look for roundtrips (as its cheaper than one ways) & dont/or do take the return) then its possibly worth booking via AC for 62,500 + YQ.
If you cant find a cheap way to FRA then just book via LH directly & make sure your address the country says Israel & it should be 85,000 + yq

Thanks! Is there any way to hold it if my plans aren't 100% (no Elite status)

And then no Porsche upon arriving in FRA.

Wow, that's a great redemption. Crazy that it's less than Europe to North America.

Is it safe to hold with them and then purchase with SQ? (will it go back into inventory?)

+1 on this question (SQ will only hold if you have the miles in the account, though, right?)
