bidi-display-reordering exists, but is not a user option, which is why
"C-h a" will not show it.  But "M-x apropos-variable RET bidi RET"
should show a couple of hits, and "M-x apropos RET bidi RET" will show
even more.

The support you are looking for is turned on by default.  Just start
typing, and you will see it (there's a slew of hebrew-* input methods
for you to choose from, if you don't have a Hebrew keyboard).
