This assumes that the location of Hebrew letters on the Dvorak
keyboard is exactly the same as on the standard keyboard. But that
assumption is not necessarily true. There's no "standard" for Hebrew
Dvorak keyboard. At least this page:
http://ramalokehrota.blogspot.com/2007/04/russian-and-hebrew-dvorak-for-x11.html
advertises a Dvorak-based layout which moves the Hebrew letters
together with the English ones. E.g., SHIN is still on the same key
as A, LAMED is on K, etc. For this layout, I understand that the
Hebrew input method that comes with Emacs out of the box will work
without any changes.
