Do you mean that all text goes RTL or also that english letters are
rendered as Hebrew? Both can be symptoms of the same problem, LaTeX
thinks your global language is Hebrew.

- Do you have ``\sethebrew`` in your wrapper? If yes, remove it.
- Do you have a ``hebrew`` or ``hebrew,english`` language option in
the wrapper (don't remember the precise construct, probably argument
to babel)? If yes, try replacing it with ``english,hebrew``. I'm
not sure but I think the first language specified becomes the
document's main language.

You'll want to solve first problem (get global direction LTR) and then
wrap only the hebrew words with ``\R{hebrewword}``. If you so wrap
each word separately (``\R{syllable1} \R{syllable2}``), you should get
what you want.
