@tl, @eliadtsai: Hebrew has special Unicode code points for quote characters:
0x05F3 (equivalent to single quote) and 0x05F4 (equivalent to double qoute).

IMHO they should be treated in the same way as their ASCII equivalents. 

- double quotes may be used to mark abbreviations. In that case they will be
*enclosed* by Hebrew characters (no space character on either side, as shown in
the screenshot)

- single quotes may be used to modify certain Hebrew letters or to mark
abbreviations. As opposed to the double quote case, this single quote may be
also placed as the last character of the word / abbreviation (this case is not
shown in eliadtsai's screenshot).

So it should be very easy to determine the usage of a double quote character. If
it is enclosed by Hebrew letters on both sides, it should be considered part of
the word. If there is a space or punctuation character on either side, it is
probably used as a quotation mark.

- The usage of single quotes is more complicated: 
When it appears in the middle of a word, it should be considered part of the
word (same as in the previous case).
When it appears at the end of a word, it could be part of the word /
abbreviation, or it could be used as a quotation mark.
