This has nothing to do with the xmodmap itself. Its only purpose is to
change the keyboard layout to the correct one. Even without it you should
be able to enter Hebrew, only it won't be in correct positions, for
example ALT/` will produce Aleph and so on.
Read the part about the shells setup in HOWTO, I expect that you are
running the xterm with a Hebrew font. To isolate problems with the shell
get into vi (hope that you have one which allows 8bit char) and try to
enter Hebrew.
