I once (2 years ago?) downloaded from Eli Marmor's site
(http://www.elmar.co.il) a file called H.fonts.tar.Z, which had
some ps hebrew fonts. However, I find it hard to find it currently
on the site (e.g. many links lead to 403 "Forbidden").
I believe you can get it from
<ftp://ftp.ivrix.org.il/pub/ivrix/fonts/x/elmar>,
but too lazy to check (since the .gz makes the sizes different,
I can't tell from the size).
Note that about 2 years before that, I got a file named very
similarly, but with only 2 pfa fonts (and many pcf).
I guess Eli updated his font collection in that period.

One way, probably not the best, is with pfaedit. I havn't used
it seriously, only saw that it works. But it sure is interesting.
STFW (or apt-get, if you use the right distribution).
