You need to go to TeXShop Preferences, the Engine section, and change  
the path setting for (pdf)TeX to "/usr/texbin"; it's probably /usr/ 
local/teTeX/bin/... at the moment, which is the location of the old  
teTeX package.

I expect this should work, with the condition that you'll probably  
need to include \beginR .... \endR around the Hebrew text, to ensure  
the words appear in the right order.
