This is a good point. I have NO idea what this jerus font is. I have
searched the internet a bit, and the only mentioning I found is a bug
report like yours. It seems that the file
lhecmr.fd
just defines a not existing font.

Forget it, also the ivritex package ships the above lhecmr.fd mentioning
the jerus10 font without providing it.

Hmm, I have no idea. But on CTAN you won't find a thing. I checked
current CTAN
CTAN/language/hebrew/hebtex/
and jerus10 is mentioned in some files:
doc/hebrew_tex_and_latex.tex (and .dvi and .ps)
macros/latex_macros/hebrew.fdd
macros/latex_macros/lhecmr.fd
macros/tex_macros/heb_macros.tex
unix/new/boris_README.html
unix/new/INSTALLATION.txt
unix/new/special.map
win95/doc/boris_README.html
win95/doc/boris_README.txt
doc/guides/all_guides_ps/hebrew_tex_and_latex.ps
doc/guides/latex_guides/hebrew_latex2e_usage.txt
doc/examples/latex_examples/guide/hebguide.ps
doc/examples/latex_examples/letter/heblet.ps
doc/examples/latex_examples/thesis/thesis.ps
but the font itself I cannot find! In unix/new/INSTALLATION.txt I found
a reference to
ftp://ftp.cc.huji.ac.il/tex/fonts/
but this does not exist any more.
So to be honest, I have no idea, this seems to be completely messed up.
I guess the only way to "fix" this is to really kill the whole stuff
because it seems broken.
I suggest that you bring up the topic on the tex-live@tug.org mailing
list, maybe together with my findings. There the probability to find
someone with knowledge about babel/hebrew is bigger than here.
Best wishes
