I use LyX. When I use the "Title" environment under article(hebrew), it uses very big spacings between it and the rest of the document. How do I control the spacing and make it use a compact title so my resume will all fit in one page?

Add the following to your LaTeX preamble (which should be accessible in LyX through Document -> Settings -> LaTeX Preamble):
\KOMAoptions{parskip=half}
This will result in paragraph spacing equal to half the value of \baselineskip or (depending on the basic font size of the document) between 6pt and 7.2pt.
One could of course create a custom titlepage from scratch, rather than using the Title, Author, etc. layouts from the dropdown menu. A quick alternative workaround/hack is to place the image as part of the title. If you don't need any vertical space between title and image, hit Ctrl + Enter just after the title, and insert the image with Insert --> Graphics, as usual.
If you need some vertical space, rather than Ctrl + Enter insert an ERT with Ctrl + L, write \\[1cm] (modify the length to suit your need), and insert the image right after this, as in this screenshot:

While I would look for a proper resume class, the "quick and dirty" (and non-encouraged) way to reduce vertical spacing is to insert the command \vskip -1.5em after the \maketitle, with 1.5 substituted for an appropriate amount.
