Most travelled to cities are from CAPA and a few other websites that reported individual numbers.

The correlation between cities with large Jewish populations and where Israelis travel was inferred by myself, as all of the top 9 cities (except Orlando due to tourism) visited by Israelis rank in the top 10 among US cities' Jewish populations. (Top cities in no particular order: NYC, LA, Chicago, Philly, DC/Baltimore, Miami, Boston, San Fran, Orlando). Now this could be coincidence, since large cities tend to have big Jewish populations, or it could be because the Israelis visiting relatives gives the cities an extra bump in traffic.
The article doesn't mention anything about Israelis traveling to America more than vice versa. Further, the article is about 2013.

Again, I don't have stats one way or the other. I do know that outside the US, you see massive groups of Israeli traveling places that have small or no Jewish communities (think of the sold out 744 flying daily to BKK).
