Jews Still Waiting for the Messiah

Acts 10:45 mentions the Jews’ “astonishment” at gentiles receiving the holy spirit. It made us wonder about the view of present day Jews concerning Jesus. Clearly 14.7 million Jews (the number of Jewish practitioners in 2023), after 2000 years still don’t believe Jesus was the Messiah. Only about a million Jews are ultra conservative (Haredi) but most others are no longer strict about associating with others, though even the Conservative Jews (about 18% of American Jews) don’t approve of mixed marriages. Like the Christians, the Jews have many sects; with new ones developing all the time.
