Christians believe that Jesus is the Son of God sent to save us all from our sin and allow us to be with God in heaven for eternity. Muslims believe that Jesus did in fact exist, but that he was just a prophet.

Jewish answer:

Judaism has very little to say about beliefs concerning Jesus. According to our tradition, the vast majority of the Jews at the time didn't hear of him. The Torah-sages (Rabbi Yochanan ben Zakkai, Rabbi Yonatan ben Uziel, Chanina ben Dosa, Bava ben Buta, Shimon ben Hillel, Rabbi Eliezer, Rabbi Yehoshua, Rabbi Akiva, and hundreds of others) were active at that time and their yeshivot (Torah-academies) were flourishing. Their tens of thousands of disciples and hundeds of thousands of sympathizers were active in the Jewish world in that generation; they were the leaders and the forefront of Judaism. As Josephus (Antiquities book 18) writes, "the cities give great attestations to them." The great majority of Jews loved their sages and their Torah.
The unlearned class of the Amei-haaretz (ignoramuses) was a small fringe of society, but even they would and did lay down their lives in order not to violate anything of the Torah. As one ancient historian famously wrote:
Hecateus declares again, "what regard we (Jews) have for our laws; and we resolve to endure anything rather than transgress them." And he adds: "They [Jews] may be stripped on this account, and have torments inflicted upon them, and be brought to the most terrible kinds of death, but they meet these tortures after an extraordinary manner, beyond all other people, and will not renounce the religion of their forefathers."
No one (even any who did hear of Jesus) - would have given heed to what was and is considered unacceptable for us. The few who came in contact with him soon lost interest, and the early Christians felt the need to turn to non-Jewish centers of population in order to gain adherents, while the Jews remained Jews.
Rather, you might prefer to ask "What does Judaism not say" about Jesus. And the answer is that we do not believe that he is or was anything other than a regular human being. We may also note that according to our tradition, prophecy ceased about 340 years before the birth of Jesus; and public miracles stopped even earlier.

Judaism and Christianity have the same common origin, beginning with the patriarch Abraham. Judaism and early Christianity split when Jews denied that Jesus was the Messiah. The Jews said that the signs of the Messiah's appearance given in the Torah were not the same as the ones that appeared with Jesus, so they believed he was not their Messiah. The people who did believe that Jesus was the Messiah split off and became Christians. Jews still do not look at Jesus as the Messiah, and they only read the portion of The Bible called the Old Testament, or the Tanakh in Hebrew. They also observe the laws of Kashrut, which Christians don't observe. Both religions also have different holidays, such as the High Holidays, observed by Jews but not Christians, and Easter and Christmas, observed by Christians and not Jews.

The Jews do not believe in Jesus as the son of God. They believe their savior is coming, but just have not arrived yet.

Why do the Jews hate the Son of God?

Jews do not hate Jesus, he plays no role in our beliefs. The only time we might discuss Jesus is when non-Jews ask us what our beliefs are about him. To clarify, he may or may not have existed. If he did, based on the Christian Bible, he wouldn't have qualified as a moshiach of any kind.

(Follow the web page below for their beliefs)Answer:The Jews for Jesus organization was created by the Southern Baptist Convention to replace its failed mission to the Jews. The goal behind the creation of Jews for Jesus was to target Jews for conversion to Christianity by claiming that it is possible to remain a Jew while worshiping Jesus - this is a false claim.
