This is a red herring. The sin of the Jews was never that they collectively killed Christ, it's that they, definitionally, reject Christ's sacrifice and so turn from God. They are forsaken, every single self-professed Jew, because of belief, not action. They were the first to hear the Good Word and they deliberately turned their back on it, and have continued to do so for thousands of years.
First, you mean rabbinical Jews, because a Lifeway survey estimated there are a million Messianic (Christian) Jews.
Second, I ask people for proof that some congregational rabbi or rabbinical organization teaches, as a tenet of Judaism, that Jesus's sacrifice is rejected. They don't actually do it because they're too scared, they leave the rejection to folk religion and to antimissionaries but they don't make it a tenet of rabbinical Judaism because they know what would happen if they did. So I decline the statement that rabbinical Judaism definitionally rejects Jesus Christ's sacrifice, and ask for proof. In fact, rabbinical Judaism teaches that it's a valid view that the Christ must suffer and that this suffering is somehow redemptive for his people; but they refuse to apply that the way Christianity does, and so they do not get the spiritual benefit of salvation from it.
