I have two questions:
1) The current LyX-to-LaTeX conversion uses \R{\selectlanguage{lang}} for a cell inside a tabular environement that its language is RTL such has Hebrew and Arabic. This conversion does not work for Arabic. Does it work for Hebrew? (Look at file "src/insets/InsetTabular.cpp" line #2283)
2) The current version of ARABI LaTeX-package (probably the same as ArabTeX) outputs the tabular environment in a RTL paragraph from left to right instead of right to left. In other words, righting from right to left the first row of table written in a text file appears as the first row on the left side of the table. Is it the same with Hebrew?

Hi Mostafa!
Sorry for not answering earlier. The truth is, I don't really know much
about the latex backend. What I can say is that tables work fine in
Hebrew in LyX --- so whatever LyX is doing to generate the latex output
is working.
If you want more details about what's going on in the latex backend, I
suggest you ask at the Ivritex (http://ivritex.sourceforge.net/) mailing
list (http://listserv.tau.ac.il/archives/ivritex.html). They could
probably be much more helpful with any other latex-oriented questions
you have, and there are at least a few LyXers, I believe, who also
subscribe to that list.
You might also want to ask them about the modifications that you
mentioned which would be necessary in order to get Ivritex to be
compatible with the Arabi package (something about \R -> \RH ?), if
that's still relevant...
Thanks!
Dov
