Oh, charset encoding... don't get me started about that ! ;o) I had a
hard time trying to figure out how to configure that beast properly
for my locale (French, and win1252 charset which I had to use for some
obscure database reasons).
Try to add this filter (source below) and set it up properly in your
web.xml :
<filter>
<filter-name>SetCharacterEncoding</filter-name>
<filter-class>filters.SetCharacterEncodingFilter</filter-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>encoding</param-name>
<param-value><!-- put your charset here --></param-value>
</init-param>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>SetCharacterEncoding</filter-name>
<url-pattern>*.xhtml</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
It's taken from the examples bundled with Tomcat. I just adapted it a
bit to handle Trinidad partial page rendering properly.
Hope this helps (as I don't know Hebrew at all, I don't understand
what's wrong in the example you give...)

/**
*<p>Example filter that sets the character encoding to be used in
parsing the
* incoming request, either unconditionally or only if the client did not
* specify a character encoding. Configuration of this filter is based on
* the following initialization parameters:</p>
*<ul>
*<li><strong>encoding</strong> - The character encoding to be configured
* for this request, either conditionally or unconditionally based on
* the<code>ignore</code> initialization parameter. This parameter
* is required, so there is no default.</li>
*<li><strong>ignore</strong> - If set to "true", any character encoding
* specified by the client is ignored, and the value returned by the
*<code>selectEncoding()</code> method is set. If set to "false,
*<code>selectEncoding()</code> is called<strong>only</strong> if
the
* client has not already specified an encoding. By default, this
* parameter is set to "true".</li>
*</ul>
*
*<p>Although this filter can be used unchanged, it is also easy to
* subclass it and make the<code>selectEncoding()</code> method more
* intelligent about what encoding to choose, based on characteristics of
* the incoming request (such as the values of the
<code>Accept-Language</code>
* and<code>User-Agent</code> headers, or a value stashed in the current
* user's session.</p>
