Basically there are two options:

0. you use nither a UTF-8 local or an ISO-8859-8 locale. You won't see
   Hebrew. Use (1) or (2).

1. You use a locale with the charset UTF-8:
   simply add the mount option 'utf8' (note: not 'utf-8'). You should be
   able to use eny file name on the partition.

2. you use a locale wit the charset ISO-8859-8:
   Add the mount options 'codepage=862,iocharset=iso8859-8' and hope you
   won't use any non-Hebrew character for file name.
