Can't type in Hebrew

Question

I'm trying to type Hebrew letters in InDesign. When I select the Adobe Hebrew font, I still get regular (English) letters. I suspect this isn't specifically an Adobe problem, since I run into the same thing in Word, Pages, or pretty much every application where I try to type. What am I missing? I vaguely remember a "clean-up" app asking if I wanted to get rid of foreign language support - if that's the problem, how do I get it back? The document I'm working on will have both English and Hebrew.

Interestingly, someone sent me a Word document with Hebrew. When I open it, I see Hebrew, but when I highlight the text, it purports to be Times New Roman!

iMac with system 10.13.6

InDesign CC 13.1

Adobe World-Ready Paragraph Composer selected

If you want to type in Hebrew, install a Hebrew keyboard (in Windows, Control Panel > Keyboard and Languages). (And Times New Roman is a huge font that supports many languages including Hebrew, so it makes sense that you might see some Hebrew in that Word doc set in TNR).
