ls also has.
    -b, --escape
              Quote nongraphic characters  in  file  names  using
              alphabetic and octal backslash sequences like those
              used in C.
or
       -q, --hide-control-chars
              Print question marks instead of nongraphic  charac-
              ters in file names.
maybe that's the problem?
Then
       -N, --literal
              Do not quote file names.
       -8, --8bit
              Treat all characters from the 8-bit ISO 8859  char-
              acter  sets  (0x20-0x7E,  0xA1-0xFF)  as printable.
              This includes ASCII  as  a  subset.   This  is  the
              default unless overridden at compile time.
may help...

Did you try NLS patch (AFAIK, not incorporated in standard kernel)
Maybe this is what you need? The patch contains fat32, NLS (Unicode
filenames, etc.) and Joliet support.

Oh, ??? may be ls -q... or maybe not... 
Also, I won't advise to give hebrew names to files even in windoze... Or
to use any non-hebrew characters in it. From my experience - it
screws them badly - numbers, signs etc. are shuffled in weird way... May
be problematic when interacting with non-windoze systems.
