When I used Joomla for mixing Hebrew and English I did not find it very
easy to develop a single template for both English and Hebrew so I ended
up doing two templates, one for Hebrew and one for English. The down
side to this is that other than the default template you need to assign
a template to a particular page and it is a maintenance headache to do
that on an ongoing basis. The site I did was mainly in Hebrew and they
weren't adding English pages on a regular basis so we were able to live
with that. Since this was when I just started using Joomla I assume
there is a better way to do this. I would appreciate any pointers to
resources for how to develop templates that can be used for both English
and Hebrew or of how to manage a site in Joomla that is using both
Hebrew and English on a regular basis.

I am not qualified to compare Joomla with the current version of
Drupal since all of our sites run on Joomla and we took the CMS
decision about 4 years ago.
However - I can strongly recommend Joomla 1.5 and up.
We are very light users of Hebrew but - fwiw there is no issue at all
with the latest version of Joomla mixing hebrew and english, the SEO
friendly URLs work and as long as you are ok with a English language
interface - Joomla will everything you want and more.
I second Shachar's comment about the templates - as long as you use
standard templates or do minimal customization you will be fine -
otherwise you will need help from a more experienced person - and
there are tons of them out there.

Hi,
* The specified requirements list was much too slim to judge
("how much does a suite for an orphan cost"? Is there such a
sentence in English? :-)
* This is a hot debate between enthusiasts from both camps.
* Here are some links that try to address this issue:

Which is preferred for building a Hebrew-English site, Drupal or
Joomla?
The management interface can be in English. I will need content
and menus in He and En though.
Thanks in advance.
