iconv(1) is a general-purpose charset convertor.
recode is aanother one. More tolerant of its input.

For such html conversions, use a web browser.
$ echo 'אב...ת' |lynx -dump -stdin

I once wrote a simple perl script for converting between different
Hebrew representations in LaTeX. You can find in the the 'util/'
subdirectory of the ivritex source distribution.
