What's a good route? Not sure I want to fly direct, too many hours of sitting in one place....

I don't think you can fly direct from NY to Australia. You'll pass through California along the way. From California to Australia it's pretty far, but you can stop in Hawaii.

You can't just come to Australia at the moment. The border is pretty much closed except for returning citizens, and EVERYONE has to do 2 weeks in hotel quarantine, and pay for it (I think it's $3, 000)

And do you have suggestions for a route? For when covid travel restrictions are lifted?

Israel is about to take tourists, though. The current date for opening is May 23.

What part of Australia are you going to? It's kind of like asking the best route from Sydney to the US. It's makes a huge difference if you're traveling to California or Florida.
If you're going to the West Coast, then ime the best route is with Cathay Pacific with a stopover in Hong Kong.
If you're going to the east coast, then I think there are typically flights with a stopover in LA or in Texas. Personally I'd do LA but I never really explored which was more out of the way.
This was touched on, but there's talk that the borders won't be open to noncitizens/residents before 2024. By that time, routes may have changed and better routes may be available.

And it's not even easy for returning citizens or residents. In my Americans in Australia Facebook groups there are people who are stuck outside for months (these are dual AU citizens or residents). These are people who are permitted to return but are competing with thousands of others for limited flights. Then there are those stuck in Australia who can't leave, and then the non-residents who have whole lives here who can't leave because they won't be able to return.
