I assume that you want to use LaTeX.

If you are going to use pdftex, then use hyperref and the patch

   http://ms25.ath.cx/r2l.sty.gz .

The macro package r2l.sty modifies hyperref.sty, hence you have to
load it after hyperref:

   \usepackage[some options]{hyperref}
   \usepackage{r2l}

r2l.sty is quite old, if it causes problems, please let me know.

pdftex still creates pages 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ...  But r2l instructs the
pdf viewer to arrange pages like this:  1|3 2|5 4|7 6|... 

  > 2) Unicode/UTF-8 

\usepackage[utf-8]{inputenc}

I have no experience with Hebrew.  If you don't get useful hints here 
maybe Tigran Aivazian <tigran at aivazian.fsnet.co.uk> can provide useful
information.
