??? What exactly did you try?  You need to have a TAB before and after
each '|' that's between the cells (the outer ones do not need a TAB).
Like this (you should see this correctly in Emacs 24.1; move cursor
with C-f to see the logical order):

‎|      אבגד 	|	הוזחטי     |

Isn't this what you wanted?

As for the display properties, replace the TABs in the example above
with something like this:

  (insert (propertize " " '(display (space :align-to 10))))

The number 10 should be the column where you want the "|" separator to
be aligned.  For the replacement of the second TAB, increment the
value to get the desired alignment of the text of the second cell.
