I have reproduced the relevant snippet of code in a previous message.
You can view the file gloss-hebrew.ldf in the SVN repo here:

\renewcommand{\the<counter>}{\alph{<counter>}}
where <counter> can be section, footnote, page, etc.

Your sample file compiles just fine here. My guess is that your version
of bidi.sty is too old. Latest version on CTAN is 0.4.
