I recall some time ago some specific issue of the hebrew or better bidi implementation, like some missing feature which was only included recently (by this I mean ~25 or later. I call it recently since Ubuntu still ships officially GNU emacs 24). I also thought that BOM is related to bidi, but since I have no much idea about the implantation, I see that I was wrong. Thanks for the answer. BTW is that a BOM ‏? (insert-char 8207 1 t)
