Yes. One caveat, however:

Ordering will not work with Hebrew using the default MySQL
setup. For example, doing a SELECT...ORDER BY will not correctly sort
Hebrew. 

Fortunately, there is an easy solution: MySQL support many languages,
including Hebrew, as compilation-time options.
The MySQL manual explain exactly how to change the default language (which
is Latin-1). After doing this and recompiling, Hebrew sorting will work
fine.
