They evangelized all the time in their history, until they began to focus more on racism after the return of the Babylonian exiles and their obsessions with genealogies, especially those that considered the priesthoods and high status their birthrights. The culture stagnated after that, which is why the Christians became so popular and so many Jews went with the progressives and left the racists to whine and snivel about their loss of money and political influence over their own peoples, Their last gasp was their insane attacks on the Romans, thinking their racial superiority would win them victory, and instead the nutjobs just ended up getting their Temple destroyed, and rather than ponder the significance of that, the morons launched yet another revolt and with the same results. They were even more infuriated when the Christian Jewish sects grew and kept growing while they just kept going from defeat to defeat, and of course they had no chance of impressing Christians and convincing them that they should kiss up to them and shower them with wealth and power because of their genealogies; the Christians were too busy working on following the covenants the racists abandoned. The racists continued to try and murder them all for many more centuries, and when the Muslim bandit raiders came along they joined up with them in their massacres and plundering. Now they even snivel about losing those battles, whining about the Crusades and Inquisitions, as if they were hapless innocent victims or something; being racist they find it offensive others might resist their oppression.
