According to this article more people are flying El Al between New York and Tel Aviv; LY now controls 60% of the market and Continental 20%.

The article is about the market of North America to TLV including Toronto, Chicago and Los Angeles (where LY fly direct to or from). I doubt the numbers as they do not have the number of passengers that connect in Europe via LH, LX, KL, BA, AZ and more. I also believe they do not count destinations that LY do not fly to.
LH should take about 5-10% of the overall N. America market from TLV, BA whould take about 3-5%, Air Canada would take around 6-8%. This adds to more than 100%.

Specifically per New York, CO's market share is larger than 20%.
