Or try this:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{bidi}
\setromanfont{Lucida Grande}
\begin{document}
\large
This is text in English with insertion \RL{בעברית}. \footnote{LR Footnote}
\bigskip

\setRL
האביב יפה בישראל ועול לא מזיעים.\footnote{הערת שוליים} 
\bigskip

\setfootnoteLR
קשה ללמוד עברית \footnote{LR footnote in RL environment}
\end{document}

If your default font does not have Hebrew, then you need something like this:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{bidi}
\setromanfont{Charis SIL}
\newfontfamily\hebfont[Script=Hebrew,Scale=0.8]{Ezra SIL}
\begin{document}
\large
This is text in English with insertion \RL{\hebfont בעברית}. \footnote{LR Footnote}
\bigskip

\setRL\hebfont
האביב יפה בישראל ועול לא מזיעים.\footnote{\hebfont הערת שוליים} 
\bigskip

\setfootnoteLR
קשה ללמוד עברית \footnote{LR footnote in RL environment}
\end{document}
