I am using simple report, rather than hebtech.
And anyways - I am not in the position to hack tex styles, if that is what you

I thought so too, but if you uncomment the `hebrew', the caption is flushed to
the left.

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage[%hebrew,
english]{babel}

\begin{document}
\begin{figure}
Hello!
\caption{this is the word ``Hello''}
\end{figure}
\end{document}

Any ideas why this happens?
