A minimal file which causes the error (If I change the order of amsmath and
babel it compiles without a problem):
------------------------------
\documentclass[hebrew,english]{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{babel}
\begin{document}
\selectlanguage{hebrew}
נסיון
\selectlanguage{english}
\[
\begin{split}
a & b
\end{split}
= c
\]
\end{document}
