Would love to go to Israel for sukkot (don't we all?) But the pricing I am finding is way over $1000. Anyone find anything under $1000?

You can sign up to get alerts from Dansdeals whenever a cheap flight comes online. But it doesn't frequently happen for peak travel times like Sukkos and Pesach, unless you are very flexible with your dates (like if you can leave before Yom Kippur, or are willing to come back a week after Sukkos).
Recently the cheapest tickets from the NY area have been on Turkish Air with a stopover in Turkey. From other cities (like Chicago, Washington, LA, etc.) some of the American carriers (I think specifically Delta and United) have been running the best rates. I think Iberian Airlines (based in Spain) has had some good rates from Miami. So it will depend where you are coming from as well.
But again it depends a lot on the dates of your ticket.

Flying through Russia and the Ukraine are the cheapest routes. check the political situation first.

Sometimes flights through Turkey on Turkish Air are cheaper.

Yes, that's what we have found recently also. From the NY area Turkish Air is often cheaper than even the Russia/Ukrainian route -- and it is probably safer, too.
Turkish Air also is one of the few airlines that still allow a free second bag to Israel.

We live in Maryland, so would prefer to leave through Washington or Baltimore, but if it is that much cheaper would drive to NY.

Then I would definitely repeat the advice to follow DansDeals -- he often finds good deals from Washington. I don't remember off hand which airlines, though.

You don't have to drive to NYC, but I doubt you'll find the best deals from DC or Baltimore. I would advise you to look into Philly, from which Dan often posts deals. You should also check kayak.com daily, and try to be flexible with your dates - I.e. arriving the day before Yom Tov and leaving the day after will be much more than getting there a few days early and leaving a few days later.
