Not when the curtain in their temple was torn in two, from top to bottom, the day Christ died.

The traditional Good Friday prayer is a call for the conversion of the Jews. The new prayer suggest they can “advance” in faithfulness while remaining Jews.

Well, you added your own words, "while remaining Jews", and then criticized the prayer on the basis of the added words. That hardly seems fair, does it?

"What does the prayer really say?" It prays to God that the Jewish people advance in love of God's name and in faithfulness to his covenant, and attain the fullness of redemption,, through Christ our Lord.

It's always best to stick to the words that are actually there.
