What exactly do you mean by "input in ascii"?
Are these (La)TeX control-sequence names?
If so, then there must be a package or style-file that
interprets these sequences, mapping to font-characters
in some legacy font.
Can you please provide an example of one of these papers?
Don't send it all, but include everything from the start,
down to \begin{document} and some paragraphs within the body.
Also include the very end, where the \end{document} occurs,
and any special (non-content) coding that may be there.

Are you planning to use XeTeX (XeLaTeX) as the processor?
If so, please reply to the XeTeX list (copied here) as there
may be people there who can help --- especially with the RTL
aspect of Hebrew typesetting.
If there is a standard package involved, then maybe the macros
it defines should be supported by the Xunicode package, which
provides back-compatibility for XeTeX with such legacy methods.
