Indeed this seems to work!
Thus, the updated version is:

\def\hebmildelim{'}
\def\@@gim#1{\@tempcnta=#1\divide\@tempcnta\@m
  \ifnum\@tempcnta>0\@@hebr\@tempcnta\hebmildelim\fi
  \multiply\@tempcnta\@m\@tempcntb=#1\advance\@tempcntb-\@tempcnta
  \ifnum\@tempcntb>799 \tav\tav \advance\@tempcntb-800 \fi
  \ifnum\@tempcntb>399 \tav \advance\@tempcntb-400 \fi%
  \ifnum\@tempcntb>299 \shin \advance\@tempcntb-300 \fi%
  \ifnum\@tempcntb>199 \resh \advance\@tempcntb-200 \fi%
  \ifnum\@tempcntb>99 \qof\advance\@tempcntb-100 \fi%
  \ifnum\@tempcntb>0 %
      \ifnum\@tempcntb=16 \tet\zayin%
      \else%
        \ifnum\@tempcntb=15 \tet\vav%
        \else\@tempcnta\@tempcntb \divide\@tempcntb 10
          \ifnum\@tempcntb>0 %
             \advance\@tempcntb 9
             \@@hebr\@tempcntb\advance\@tempcntb-9 %
          \fi
          \multiply\@tempcntb 10\advance\@tempcnta-\@tempcntb
          \ifnum\@tempcnta>0 \@@hebr\@tempcnta\fi
        \fi
      \fi
  \fi}

And there are two open question:
- How can we call @@gim recursively, so it handles thousands correctly?
- why can't we do \gim{counter} just like \Roman{counter} ?

Thanks,

Dan.
