Choose System Settings and Keyboard Layout. Drag "Hebrew" up to the top of the list, before "English". This will cause Hebrew to be the default language, and will bring up "he" (instead of "en") when you log in.
Unfortunately it also causes Ctrl-A not to work, i.e. Ctrl-A will not choose all the text in the Window. Note: in gedit it will continue to choose all the text but in a lot of other programs it will not. I found it first in a Java program I wrote, but it also happens in Libre Office Text Writer, as well as in the terminal.
If I drag "English" up to the top in Keyboard Layout, naturally English will be the starting language. If I then switch to Hebrew the Ctrl-A works fine in all programs, whether I am in English or in Hebrew.
Thanks,
Ilan
