Double click on the ttf file. That should bring up a dialog box. On the bottom you should see a button "Install". Click on that. FontBook should come up and show it as being installed.

I recommend downloading Linotype FontExplorer X. It's a wonderful program and completely free. It will help you

See previous responses for options on installing the font on your Mac system.

However, if the issue is that the font is installed but not working properly in MS Office that is because the Mac version of Office does not support layout for right-to-left scripts such as Hebrew and does not support the OpenType Layout necessary for correct mark positioning in vocalised and accented text. For the time being, your best option on the Mac is to use the Mellel word processor program, which is available from
