I've played around with Rosetta Stone in Spanish and Russian (SPPL has those free) and I've liked it. However, I didn't do any serious work with it. I've also heard consistently good things about it and I know the MLC's learning centers use it for teaching English.

As for whether you can really commit to the Hebrew thing right now... well, if anybody could pull it off, it'd be you. Good luck with whatever you decide!
