He didn't. The primary role of the messiah for Jews is to serve as King, to usher in the messianic era of peace. There is still war, and there isn't a messianic kingdom, so Jesus didn't fulfill the role of Jewish messiah.

In what sense did Jesus fullfill the role as the Jewish Messiah?
Judaism does not feel that Jesus fulfilled any part of the role of the Jewish Messiah. It is Christianity and Islam that assert that he did.
Who was the Jewish Jesus?
If you mean the Jewish equivalent of Jesus Christ, there is none. If you are referring to the Christian term "the Jewish Jesus", i.e. referring to the character in a more historical or Jewish-like sense, then you should investigate "Messianic Judaism" and similar Christian movements which purport to provide this information. However, their views are often conflicting.
Why was the Talmud created?
The Talmud is the discussion and elaboration on what is in the Torah. It is ancient Jewish scholars trying to make sense of the Torah and it's laws in order to fulfill them.
What Jewish Messiah was the ancestor of the Israelites?
The question as written makes no sense; Israelites had formed a civilization and then argued that they would have a king in the future who would be responsible for earth-shattering actions, who would be termed the "Messiah". So no Messiah is the ancestor of the Israelites, but the Messiah will be the descendant of the Israelites.Conversely, Biblical tradition holds that Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob/Israel are the ancestors of all Israelites. However, these Patriarchs are not considered Messiahs.
Are the Jehovah's witnesses a kind of group like Jews?
No, the Jehovah's Witnesses are a Christian denomination. They share a common root however because the Jehovah's Witnesses view Jesus as their Savior and Jesus was born on earth as a Jew. Both Jews and Jehovah's Witnesses were bitterly persecuted during the 2nd World War under Hitler's regime. The Jews because of their ethnicity and the Jehovah's Witnesses because they refused to cooperate with the Nazis.
Were the Jewish priests a threat to the gospel?
The Jewish Priests were opposed to the reforms that Jesus wished to make and condemned his activities on several occasions, so in that sense, yes, they were a threat to Jesus' activities. However, Jewish authorities never attempted or wished to attempt to stop Peter and Paul's preaching of the gospel to non-Jews nor did they oppose the writing of the Gospels.
Do Muslims reject Jesus?
No, it does not. The Koran contains several passages about Jesus, and it teaches that Jesus was a prophet. The Christian concept of messiah is not contained in the Koran and is not taught in Islam. The Koran also teaches that Muhammad is the greatest prophet, but not the messiah in the Christian sense.
What were the sources josephus used when he was writing about Jesus?
Look at the writings attributed to Josephus. Doesn't it seem odd that he declares Jesus as the Messiah, the Christ, and yet seems so calm about the whole thing? In all of his writings, Jesus, the Messiah, gets only a paragraph? Doesn't make sense. This is obviously not the answer your teacher wants, but the reality is, according to every modern scholar, that Josephus wrote nothing at all about Jesus. The part that is attributed to Josephus is a clumsy forgery, probably inserted hundreds of years after Josephus' death.
What sense is hebrews critical of old testament religion?
The Book of Hebrews contrasts the Old Testament sacrificial system with the once-for-all sacrifice of Jesus Christ, emphasizing the superiority of Christ's priesthood and the new covenant over the old covenant. It critiques the reliance on rituals and sacrifices as insufficient for true forgiveness and salvation, pointing to Jesus as the ultimate fulfillment of Old Testament promises and law.
Was the rejection of Jesus a one time event?
The Jews did not (and do not) verbally or actively reject Jesus. They just do not (and did not) accept him as more than a regular human being. In this sense, of not venerating him, it is a continuing thing, not a one-time "event." See also:Does Judaism say anything about Jesus?
Did Jesus intend to found a new religion?
That depends on what you consider Christianity to be. If we are very picky, what Jesus intended to do and succeeded in doing was to complete the Jewish faith (which was waiting for the messiah). In that sense he doesn't found a new religion so much as give plenitude to an existing one. This radically new perception, however, coupled with the fact that not every Jew converted makes it a general assumption that he founded (and intended to found) an altogether new religion and it would be entirely appropriate to say so.
What is the tonality in handel's messiah?
It doesn't make sense to ask what is the tonality of THE Messiah chorus because there are lots of choruses in Messiah. If you mean the most well-known one, the Hallelujah chorus, it's in D major.
