Thank you! It makes a big difference. I distinctly remember reading somewhere that the hyphen character can't be replaced... But it was last year so I couldn't tell you where.

hm, i think it always could be changed, but afaik only luatex can do that per language within a paragraph as it stores language properties with the characters

I have an environment that provides the first ten Hebrew numerals, which I am using for the front matter:

\def\hebrewnumber#1%
  {\ifcase#1 \or א
                 \or ב
                 \or ג
                 \or ד
                 \or ה
                 \or ו
                 \or ז
                 \or ח
                 \or ט
                 \or י

                 \else -\fi}

\defineconversion[hebrewnumerals][\hebrewnumber]
I assume that the right way to do it, that would allow for more numbers, is in Lua, the way that Roman numerals are done. Unfortunately I couldn't quite figure out how to do it. Right now I don't have more than ten pages of front matter, but if you are willing to help with implementation, I  can explain how Hebrew numerals work.

Ok, let's do that off-list then
