It is a wrong concept that Jews were any chosen people if they did wrong.
The Jewry of the time of Moses was summoned at the foot of the Mountain not to reward them. YHWH was not happy with them but to show them His displeasure.
Exodus 16:2
1 Then they set out from Elim, and all the congregation of the sons of Israel came to the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departure from the land of Egypt. 2 The whole congregation of the sons of Israel grumbled against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness. 3 The sons of Israel said to them, "Would that we had died by the LORD'S hand in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the pots of meat, when we ate bread to the full; for you have brought us out into this wilderness to kill this whole assembly with hunger."…
The Jews were not worthy of direct converse with YHWH.
The present Jews should understand and ask forgiveness of YHWH.

Sorry guys. I have no logical response to your arguments. So I'm just gonna get the last word and call it a day.
I bet you have an emotional response.
Regardless your assertion,
@paarsurrey does not carry with it support within the scriptures.
People do not need to repent for the sins of their fathers. There are natural consequences that occur because of our ancestors but no one is guilty for their father's errors. Let me break this down into 2 areas of logic.
Natural Consequences
"You must not bow down to them nor be enticed to serve them, for I, Jehovah your God, am a God who requires exclusive devotion, bringing punishment for the error of fathers upon sons, upon the third generation and upon the fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing loyal love to the thousandth generation of those who love me and keep my commandments." - Exodus 20:4,5
Even if someone tries to say this is more than natural consequences, Jehovah remembers the loyalty of his friends in regards to their offspring much, much longer than their disloyalty.
Everyone must stand for their own actions
"And just as I watched over them to uproot, to pull down, to tear down, to destroy, and to do harm, so I will watch over them to build up and to plant," declares Jehovah. "In those days they will no longer say, 'The fathers ate sour grapes, but the teeth of the sons were set on edge.' (Lit., "got blunted.") But then each one will die for his own error. Any man eating sour grapes will have his own teeth set on edge." - Jeremiah 31:28-30
The writings of a contemporary of Jeremiah shows that this human proverb was always a misunderstanding on how things were.
And the word of Jehovah again came to me saying: "What does this proverb that you quote in the land of Israel mean, 'Fathers have eaten sour grapes, but the teeth of the sons are set on edge'? "'As surely as I am alive,' declares the Sovereign Lord Jehovah, 'you will not continue to quote this saying in Israel. Look! All the souls (or "lives.") - to me they belong. As the soul of the father so also the soul of the son - to me they belong. The soul (or "person.") who sins is the one who will die'"..."'But you will say: "Why does the son not bear guilt because of his father's error?" Since the son has done what is just and righteous, has kept all my statues and has observed them, he will surely keep living. The soul (or "person.") who sins is the one who will die. A son will bear no guilt because of the error of his father, and a father will bear no guilt because of the error of his son. The righteousness of the righteous one will be accounted to him alone, and the wickedness of the wicked one will be accounted to him alone.'" - Eze 18:1-4,19,20
We see a case of this even when the Israelites were in the wilderness. Korah died for his error, along with all who supported him. But his sons separated themselves before the divine judgement was carried out. (Nu 26:10,11) These sons are credited for composing eleven of the sacred songs found in the book of Psalms. (These are Psalms 42,44-49,84,85,87, and 88.)
Auxiliary
It was because the nation was in a covenant relationship with Jehovah that they experienced a heavier responsibility - with consequences - then those around them. They were his witnesses, and what they did and did not do reflected on Jehovah's name. The rest of mankind at the time were, for the most part, left to their own devices as long as they did not show contempt for Jehovah's people.
I will say to the north, 'Give them up!'
And to the south, 'Do no hold them back.
Bring my sons from afar, and my daughters from the ends of the earth,
Everyone who is called by my name
And whom I created for my own glory,
Whom I have formed and made.'
...
"I am the One who declared and saved and made known
When there was no foreign god among you.
So you are my witnesses," declares Jehovah, "and I am God."
- Isaiah 43:6,7,12
