Barrier's current handling of keyboard mapping is really off.
Currently, the windows server does some kind of keyboard mapping translation (which I belive it shoudn't) and the Mac client does another mapping (though it seems partial mapping as by itself you will not see any Hebrew characters)
The only way currently (at least with your setup) to get properly mapped Hebrew characters is to switch to Hebrew on both the Windows and the Mac machines.
(Hebrew on the Windows server and English on the Mac client will result in English characters with bad mapping, e.g. "q" -> "/")
