It shows that you didn't read the documentation.
You are facing two problems here:
1. You are using Helvetica, not embedded in the PDF.
This font doesn't know how to draw Hebrew characters.
Solution: find a font that contains Hebrew characters,
and create an iText font object that embeds the font.
2. Hebrew is written from right to left. If you just
add paragraphs with Document.add(), the text will
be written from left to right.
Solution: you need to use PdfPTable or ColumnText and
specify the run direction.
This is all explained in chapter 11 of the 2nd edition
of iText in Action.
There you'll find the code to create a PDF like this:

If you look at the Document Properties, you'll see that
the font ArialMT was embedded using the "encoding" Identity-H.
