Thanks, David, for the help. I'm still trying to figure out the setup on my comp, but I think it's starting to make some sense. When I tried the minimal file you asked, it did the same error concerning the jerus10 font. I was not able to find it in ivritex either. But I did find this somewhere on the net and it did work:

% ---begin here---
%!TEX TS-program = xelatex
%!TEX encoding = UTF-8 Unicode
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\TeXXeTstate=1
\usepackage{xltxtra}
\usepackage{bidi}
\defaultfontfeatures{Scale=MatchLowercase}
\setmainfont{Hoefler Text}
\newfontfamily{\sbl}[Script=Hebrew]{SBLHebrew}
\begin{document}

\setRL
{\sbl
‏‏בְּרֵאשִׁ֖ית בָּרָ֣א אֱלֹהִ֑ים אֵ֥ת הַשָּׁמַ֖יִם וְאֵ֥ת הָאָֽרֶץ׃
וְהָאָ֗רֶץ הָיְתָ֥ה תֹ֨הוּ֙ וָבֹ֔הוּ וְחֹ֖שֶׁךְ עַל־פְּנֵ֣י תְה֑וֹם וְר֣וּחַ אֱלֹהִ֔ים מְרַחֶ֖פֶת עַל־פְּנֵ֥י הַמָּֽיִם׃

}
\setLR
\end{document}
% ---end here---

I don't know if that would help but it's my hope that it would in some way. I'll experiment on getting the files you uploaded to work, unless someone can give me some brief instructions about how to set that up.
