try: 

vim -H

Redhat (at least as of version 6.2) and Mandrake (as of version 7.1). The
mandrake package also includes a file called vimrc_hebrew (at the time
this package was maintained by Chmouel Boudjnah).

vim's hebrew support includes reflection of the display (a poor-mans
subsstitution of bidi), visual-hebrew input mode (useful for visual hebrew
html, mainly), and hebrew keyboard mapping.
