I've tried that page under XP. Opera, Avant and IE7 (Beta 1) display the
page correctly, and copying from them into OO 2.0 works correctly.
Firefox (1.5.0.3) does not display it correctly, but if I copy the text
from it into OO, OO displays it correctly.
The text displays legibly in Firefox if I switch off the Page Style
(View ... Page Style ... No Style). This loses the fancy layout, but the
Hebrew text appears correctly.

I'm looking at the site now at the university on Windows XP and IE
6.0. It does not display well here, either. Screen shot:

Note that both this machine and my home machine are Hebrew
installations of their operating systems. I can put up a screen shot
of the Linux Firefox, Opera, and Konqueror browsers on this page if
you want. In any case, this site is using the wrong encoding!
ISO-8859-1 is for latin scripts. If they insist on using ISO
encodings, then then need ISO-8859-8 or ISO-8859-8i. Although, they
would be better off using UTF-8. I'm not sure, though, that UTF-8
supports the vowel symbols.
