If it's old, it's certainly R5.
Run /sbin/ldconfig -D and see if it shows libX*6*. I fit does, you have R6.

Copy it to /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/Xhterm; it should be installed there

know how to change L-R under linux console?
If only you need is to display hebrew characters, run plain xterm with an hebrew
