Go to Tools->Preferences->Editing->Keyboard/Mouse, check the "use keyboard map" box, then write in the primary field null, and in the secondary field hebrew. Now when you write outside of math insets it should be in Hebrew, even if your keyboard is in english (so you won't have to switch). But how will you be able to write in english? as Riki suggested, create a shortcut to switch between the languages. To do so, go to Tools->Preferences->Editing->Shortcuts, press on New, in the Function field write (without the quotation marks) "language hebrew", and in the shortcut field, well, press the keys you want for the short cut.

You can do that by adding --prefix in configure (e.g. something like --prefix=/home/user/lyx/ where user is your login; the installed files together with executable will be find in ~/lyx/).
