I am not sure I understand your question, but perhaps Will does!

This is because you have to specify the Hebrew font at the beginning of 
the footnote as well:

\footnote{\ezra אלו עולות אלפי שקלים, וכן קשה מ}

You must change the last line above to something like :

\makeatletter
\renewcommand{\footnoterule}{\kern-3\p@
\hrule width \textwidth \kern 2.6\p@}
\makeatother

(this is taken from the TeXbook IIRC).
