The word 'messiah' is the anglicisation of the Hebrew 'moshiach'. The word moshiach translates to 'anointed'. The title of moshiach was given to any person who was appropriately anointed with oil as part of their initiation to their service of HaShem. We have had many moshiachim (pl) in the form of kings, priests, prophets, and judges. There is absolutely nothing supernatural about a moshiach.
This being said, there is a prophecy of a future moshiach, however, this is a relatively minor topic in Judaism and the Tanach.
The Jewish requirements of hamoshiach are:
* Build the Third Temple (Ezekiel 37:26-28)
* Gather all Jews back to the Land of Israel (Isaiah 43:5-6)
* Usher in an era of world peace, and end all hatred, oppression, suffering and disease. As it says: "Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall man learn war anymore." (Isaiah 2:4)
* Spread universal knowledge of the God of Israel, which will unite humanity as one. As it says: "HaShem will be King over all the world -- on that day, HaShem will be One and His Name will be One" (Zechariah 14:9)
* Hamoshiach must be descended on his father's side from King David (Genesis 49:10 and Isaiah 11:1)
* Hamoshiach will lead the Jewish people to full Torah observance. The Torah states that all mitzvot remain binding forever, and anyone coming to change the Torah is immediately identified as a false prophet. (Deut. 13:1-4)
The Christian concept of messiah doesn't exist in Judaism. The Hebrew word 'moshiach' simply means 'anointed' and is a title given to any person who was anointed with oil as an induction to serving God.
There is a prophecy of a future moshiach. However, this is a relatively minor topic in Judaism and the Tanakh.
Answer 2
Without exhaustive opinion surveying, it's very difficult to determine what beliefs are held by a diffuse group of people dispersed in some 135 countries throughout the world.
But the teachings of Judaism regarding the Messiah can be summarized quite succinctly:
-- The Jewish Messiah is to be a leader of the Jews, strong in wisdom, power, and spirit.
-- He is the one who will bring complete redemption to the Jewish people, both spiritually and physically.
-- Along with this, he will bring eternal peace, love, prosperity, and moral perfection to the entire world.
-- The Jewish Messiah is to be completely human in origin. He will be born naturally to two ordinary human parents, and is comprised of flesh and blood like all people.
-- The Messiah will be full of wisdom and understanding, counsel and might, knowledge and fear of God. He will have a special feeling for justice. He will be able to sense a person's innocence or guilt.
-- In Isaiah's words, the Messiah will " ... smite the tyrant with the rod of his mouth, and slay the wicked with the breath of his lips." Evil and tyranny won't be able to stand up before him.
-- Even so, the Messiah is primarily a king of peace, and he will only "open his mouth" for peace.
-- His first task is to redeem Israel from exile and servitude. In doing so, he will also redeem the entire world from evil. Oppression, suffering, war, and all forms of godlessness will be abolished. Mankind will thus be perfected, and man's sins against God, as well as against fellow man, will be eliminated. All forms of warfare and strife between nations will also vanish, and the manufacture of arms will end.
-- The Jewish Messiah will bring all people to the knowledge of God.
-- The Jewish Messiah has the task of perfecting the world. He'll redeem man from servitude, oppression, and our own evil. There will be a great material prosperity in the world, and man will be restored to an Eden-like existence, where we can enjoy the fruits of the earth peacefully.
-- Although the Messiah may achieve the upper limit of human perfection, he will be human. His kingdom is definitely "of this world."
-- Although the Messiah may occupy a central place in this "Kingdom of Heaven on Earth," he is still not the primary figure. That position can only belong to God Himself.
About the same as christians believe about his appearance in the second coming - a victorious king restoring God's rule among his people on Earth - only they will see it as his FIRST coming.
Answer:
The word "messiah" is the transliterated form of the Hebrew "moshiach." The word moshiach translates to "anointed."

First Jews do not make the claim that the Messiah will be divine, but actually that he will be an ordinary man.
Regardless there are several relevant prophecies such as:
The Old Testament more or less confirms the Jewish view of what a Messiah should be. Firstly, at no point does the Old Testament make the claim that the Messiah will be divine, but actually a man.

Christians believe that Christ in the Messiah promised prophetically in the Old Testament. Judaism does not believe that Jesus in the Messiah.
Judaism does not accept Yeshua (jesus) as messiah
Catholics believe that Jesus was the Messiah and the Son of God, as well as the fulfiller of the Jewish religion. Jews believe that Jesus was not the Messiah, and they are still waiting for the Messiah to come.
. Both Jews and Christians believe in God, only Jews are still waiting for the Messiah, whereas Christians believe that Jesus Christ was the Messiah.
The Christian concept of messiah does not exist in Judaism, regardless of Jewish sect. No Jew believes that Jesus was a moshiach.
Very little. As far as I can tell, the only difference is that Christians believe Jesus Christ is the Messiah, while Jews believe that he was not, and are still waiting for the Messiah.
Jesus' followers believes/ed that he is the Messiah, something that Judaism does not believe.
No, Jesus plays no role in Judaism whatsoever. The Christian concept of 'messiah' doesn't exist in Judaism at all.
Catholic believe and follow the works of Jesus, but Judaism did not agree of it because they await the messiah to come.Most of their teaching based from the law of Moses.
Jewish answer: No, not yet; though we have had a number of false messiahs.
One example of a religion that does not believe in Jesus as the central figure is Judaism. In Judaism, Jesus is not recognized as the Messiah or divine figure, and he is not considered part of their religious beliefs or teachings.
