...Wouldn't codepage 1255 work for you? I can't find much on why
nls_iso8859-8.ko is missing... but at least nls_cp1255.ko exists there.
Moreover seems cp1255 is preferred to iso8859-8 and more frequently used -
just as cp1251 is to iso8859-5 for Cyrillics. At least on wikipedia they say
that "Windows-1255 is a codepage used under Microsoft Windows to write
Hebrew. It is a compatible superset of ISO 8859-8 - the letters are in the
same positions, but Windows-1255 adds vowel-points and other signs in lower
positions."

HTH.
