Hi,
I can reproduce this behavior with LO 4.1.1.2 under Fedora 19 (64-bit). The
"Mangal" font is the default CTL font in your document, therefore LO uses it
when it thinks your text is a CTL one. You can change it through
Tools->Options->LibreOffice Writer->Basic Fonts (CTL)

> To note is that the language of the Hebrew and adjacent spaces, (excluding

Strange, as I'm able to change the language through Format->Character...->CTL
Font. Make sure that BiDi is activated at Tools->Options...->Language
Settings->Languages->Show UI elements for Bi-Directional writing. There you can
also set the default CTL language for your documents, so you don't need to
change it manually every time.

The trick is to place the cursor between the roman "I" and the Hebrew text, and
insert a LTR mark using Insert->Formatting Mark->Left-to-right mark. So I'm not
sure it's a bug.

I'm closing this bug for now as "NOTABUG". Feel free to change the status back
to "UNCONFIMRED" if you disagree.
