Hi itai!
My understanding is that Zinc already supports RTL.
Please see if this documentation helps you.
The toggle to tell Joomla that a language should be displayed in RTL format is located in the language’s XML file. In the case of the default en-GB language, there is a configuration file located:

YOUR_SITE/languages/en-GB/en-GB.xml
This file looks like this:

01. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
02. <!-- $Id -->
03. <metafile version="1.5" client="site" >
04. <name>English(United Kingdom)</name>
05. <tag>en-GB</tag>
06. <version>1.5.15</version>
07. <creationDate>2009-10-27</creationDate>

14. <metadata>
15. <name>English (United Kingdom)</name>
16. <tag>en-GB</tag>
17. <rtl>0</rtl>
18. <locale>en_GB.utf8, en_GB.UTF-8, en_GB, eng_GB, en, english, english-uk, uk, gbr, britain, england, great britain, uk, united kingdom, united-kingdom</locale>
19. <winCodePage>iso-8859-1</winCodePage>
20. <backwardLang>english</backwardLang>
21. <pdfFontName>freesans</pdfFontName>
22. </metadata>
23. <params />
24. </metafile>

The relevant part is that rtl tag that is currently set to 0. By changing this value to 1, you effectively switch on RTL for this language.
Let me know if this helps you!

Thanks for your answer.

I changed the RTL from 0 to1 and saved it > refresh and nothing.

It didn’t works for me. Is there anything else i can do to make the RTL change?

Have you visited the link I provided?
I may also suggest that you visit Joomla.org and ask for help in that forum as well.

Hi itai!
Customizing a Joomlart template is really not we we handle here at Joomlart.
Joomla.org would be the best place to seek free help or you may wish to try a freelance developer service like joomlancers.
Best of luck on your new project.
