Who were the Jewish High priests known to pray to openly?
I don't know my scripture that well to tell where you're referring from but immediately what comes to mind is the Sectarian Jewish Sect that wrote the Dead Sea Scrolls which was a sect around the time of Jesus.

If Jesus didn't ever call his Father by the name YHWH that doesn't mean he denied YHWH as his Father. That is a logical fallacy argument.
Does he ever explicitly say YHWH was not his Father? That would actually cement his beliefs rather than people merely speculating and guessing.
There's some great info in here about Jewish sects in the time of Jesus. The Sectarian sect is interesting to look at.
