There's one thing I'm curious about; why is this software, when I
configure it for writing documents in Hebrew, uses Latin9 and cp1255?
cp1255 is an MS Windows encoding which I've never seen used by default
in any Free Software.
Cp1255 works also on Linux as reported and therefore once implemented by our
Hebrew developers.
UTF-8 for LaTeX is work in progress: XeTeX becomes more and more stable and we'll support it
hopefully for LyX 2.0.
For now UTF8 (that you can already choose) doesn't cover all glyphs. More information about the
current Unicode support is listed in the Appendix B.7 "Language" of the LyX UserGuide that you fin
in the Help menu of LyX 1.6.x.
There's also a Wiki page describing how to use LyX for Hebrew:

(also with links to Linux-specific stuff)
and
