I did not realize that there is a gershayim character. How is it
typed? If I can simply type it like a doublequote than that's fine,
but if it involves typing unicode characters (or cutting and pasting)
then that is out of the question.
Where in the spellchecker was the suggestion to add the quote to
MIDLETTER? I don't see that. My OOo install is in English, is yours?
Any chance of a screenshot (even in private mail)?

The message appears in the “Not in dictionary” box and reads:
For Hebrew, a tailoring may include a double quotation mark between
letters, because legacy data may contain that in place of U+05F4 (״)
gershayim.
The word “gershaym” is in red and clicking on it replaces the Latin
typewriter double quotation mark with the proper gershayim character.
Then the “Not in dictionary” box changes to read:
This can be done by adding double quotation mark to MidLetter.
The word “MidLetter” is in red, and clicking on it apparently fixes the
problem by adding the double quote mark as an acceptable middle letter
in Hebrew (even though it really isn’t an acceptable middle letter in
Hebrew, although gershayim is).
I don’t know what operating system you use and what keyboard you use, so
don’t know whether or not gershayim is already available to you from
your keyboard. According to http://www.ivritype.com/hebrew/kbd/ the
standard Windows Hebrew and Macintosh keyboards appear to lack it. (But
you might check by pressing all your keys one after the other shifted
and non-shifted, with the right ALT key or OPTION key held down, and see
what you get.)
You can edit your virtual keyboard to add gerashayim. (For Windows, the
keyboard editor can be downloaded from
http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/tools/msklc.mspx .)
You can then modify your virtual Hebrew keyboard and assign U+05F4
GERSHAYIM and any other missing Hebrew characters you want to use to
whatever keys you want.
Hebrew characters available in Unicode are found at
http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0590.pdf and
http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/UFB00.pdf . Though every font will
probably not have all these characters.
