The Hebrew language is available for pdftex, xetex, and luatex, but the preferred engine is the latter, because of its unique features for bidirectional texts, not requiring explicit mark up.

There is a complete example (with a table, a footnote, maths, etc.) in the repository (tex, pdf).

For pdftex you may need to install separately the culmus package, which is absent in some TeX distributions. It’s available in Overleaf and, as of August 2023, included in TeXLive.
