Checked for Shabbos and Yom Tov: no flight on Shabbos or Yom Tov in New York, Rome or Yerushalayim, and every landing at least three hours before candle lighting. Check the times again when you book; schedules change.
Two separate tickets: if the first flight is late, the second airline does not have to wait. With Shabbos in between there is plenty of time. Bags do not go through: travel with a carry-on or re-check them. Travel insurance that covers missed connections is worth it.
