“it is quite clear that their tenure as the Chosen People was to be considered over. (Except apparently, for Dennis Prager)”

Except apparently, the Roman Catholic Church, the Orthodox Churches, and basically every significant Protestant denomniation, including every Bible Church I’ve ever set my foot in, you mean.

We Christians are grafted, as wild vines, into the family of Abraham.

That does not “unchoose” them. It means we ARE ALSO chosen.

Now, this does not mean Jews are going to heaven, mind you.

It does mean, however, that God keeps His unconditional promises, and that the Jews have a very special place in His plan, until the end of time.

What an excellent point!

Now, this does not mean Jews are going to heaven, mind you. Here I prefer the Catholic belief. Those in sincere, but invincible ignorance of the salvation brought by Christ, can also be somehow saved.

You are wrong about the Catholic Church, even though liberals have tried to change the teaching. In 2000, the Liberal U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops included the following sentence in their catechism:

"Thus the covenant that God made with the Jewish people through Moses remains eternally valid for them"

However in 2008, the USCCB was forces to retract the sentence because it conflicts with Catholic doctrine.
