It needs to be not "hebrew" but "% hebrew", and you need to
actually invoke the parameter entity by adding "%hebrew;"
at the end of the DOCTYPE declaration.

There is no standard terminology based on the place where an entity is
declared.  I use the term "internal general entity externally declared",
and likewise for the other three possibilities.
