I found this page to be interesting.

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/pcomhelp/v5r9/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.pcomm.doc/reference/html/hcp_reference15.htm

It shows IBM-424 Hebrew code page.

What is most interesting to me, is the that the code page appears to be a 
single byte character set (SBCS) and not a multi-byte character set (MBCS), but 
the message posted by the OP indicated that ftp thought that it was multi-byte.

Hebrew doesn't seem to be in UTF-8, looking here:
http://www.utf8-chartable.de/
Unicode for Hebrew looks to be here:
http://www.i18nguy.com/unicode/hebrew.html and is definitely MBCS, or perhaps 
DBCS (double byte character set) is better.

None of which explains why the OP is having a problem since the conversion 
would be from a single byte character set on z/OS to a multibyte character set 
(Unicode) on Windows.
