I have a problem... i'm downloading the files with "emerge" @ 10-20k (really sux)
i know there is an Israeli mirror for Gentoo:
http://mirror.hamakor.org.il/
rsync://mirror.hamakor.org.il/gentoo-portage
How can I change to it? and is it a good idea?

You can change your Mirror Information in /etc/make.conf
Under GENTOO_MIRRORS

You can try using mirrorselect to help you find the best mirrors. (You may have to emerge it first)
Code:
emerge -p app-portage/mirrorselect
emerge app-portage/mirrorselect

Also, the note in the make.conf suggest you leave the default mirrors at the end of your mirror list, (just in case something goes down)

You can also select your RSYNC location in /etc/make.conf
