I think this is all the wrong way to go about this
buisness.

The better way, IMHO, would be to write something 
that would take a common disto, and Kosher it,
post install.
basicly what needs to be done can be done easily 
after the system is already installed:
* make sure language packs are installed(add if necessary
from rpms)
* install hebrew fonts
* Modify config files, for hebrew(localization, 
kemap...)
* Install some extra usefull utils for hebrew support

(bidi)

The only slightly tricky part is modifying config 
files but also this isn't too difficult.

If one inssists to make it all look like a "real"
disto, one can try tying it on the end of the
common disto used.

I believe this is a practical way of doing things,
it is trivial to upgrade to a new version of the same
common disto. It gives you the hebrew support 
you need efertlessly, and it is less work 
to make it work.
