Yes they do. Sometimes the phrase has the word "hab'nuyah" added, which changes the meaning to "next year in a built Jerusalem", but no Orthodox Jews would say that.
The same applies to the beginning of the liturgy recited on Seder night, in the "Ha Lachma Anya", where a similar sentiment is said. Similarly, at the end of prayers on Yom Kippur when the phrase "next year in Jerusalem" is also said, and also in the Amidah recited 3 times a day, where it mentions returning to Jerusalem. There are plenty other examples, too.

The reason Jews still say it even in Jerusalem is because they don't mean just physically being in Jerusalem, but being there with the Messiah, and a built Temple.

Sorry! I don't know why he chose to ask me either. Maybe because I've been quite active on this board recently.

While we're talking about Judaism, there's actually an extremely unusual Jewish tradition coming up in a couple of months, which happens only once every 28 years. It's a blessing on the sun recited on a 28 year cycle, and is when the sun reaches the equinox at the same time and day of the week as by creation. This is calculated using the rounded value of 365.25 days as the length of the year.

I'm actually British. However, I've been studying in Israel for over a year now.
