Some editors (e.g. vim) have Hebrew support and a right-to-left mode.
There's a TeX system TeX-XeT which supports right-to-left and was designed
for Hebrew.

You'll need "xfstt" then (detailed instructions on how to use TrueType fonts
on Debian have been posted to debian-user in the past; look in the mailing
list archives).

The Hebrew HowTo covers vim, TeX-XeT, X fonts etc. If you find it lacking
and the author doesn't respond, you could consider adopting it (the version
I came across was from 1995).
