This is the infamous bug #88601. It's solved in development for 2.4.1, and in 
a branch that is yet to be merged into 3.0; 2.4.1 with a fix is due in June, 
until then you may use the Hebrew 2.3.1 version (but it has some security 
problems).

And BTW, the 'v' is 7, 5 looks like an 0; Roman numerals are the MMDIII type, 
and the 2008 type are called Arabic numerals; the numerals you see (those 
used in Arabic and related languages) are called Hindi numerals.

Have fun,
