Ummm, ok... do you also pray for the conversion of the Hindus? Buddhists? Muslims?
If not, why not? Seems only fair to want all non-Christians to become believers, not just Jews; maybe I'm missing something. I wonder why only the Jews are mentioned in the prayer.
Understand, I'm not arguing or criticizing, I'm just a bit confused and would appreciate clarification of your comment.

Yup. We not only pray, we evangelize.

Yes. Page 552 right after the Jews: “For Conversion of Unbelievers”. Before Jews we pray “For Schismatics and Heretics”.
“maybe I’m missing something.”
Yes, you are.
“I wonder why only the Jews are mentioned in the prayer.”
Because it’s for them. Other prayers are said for others. It’s not difficult to understand. Outside of the baptized the Jews come first. That is as it should be.

Actually we do. We also pray for the conversion of atheists, Catholics and other Christians - we are all sinners and need conversion of out hearts. This is a tempest in a teapot.
Yes, I do and I earnestly labor toward that end. Are you a Christian? If not, may I tell you how to become a Christian?
