Wikipedia says there are 960,000 jews in NYC.
This says there are ~30,000 Israelis in New York State.
This has similar figures.
So, on the high end, ~3% of Jews in NYC are Israeli.

Your first source doesn’t specify how they’re defining “Israeli” and whether they’re including those with dual citizenship. Your second source says By contrast, demographic compilations such as World Population Review list state-level counts of Israelis (for example, roughly 32,071 in New York state and about 30,566 in California), which suggest far smaller base numbers if one focuses strictly on Israeli-born residents recorded in U.S. data [4]. It does not account for people applying for Israeli citizenship after being born in the U.S. meaning 32,000 is a lower end and likely a smaller percentage of the entire population of dual citizenship holders.
