Today: The Jews expect the messiah to bring peace to the world and to eliminate right or wrong. They expected the messiah to stop all wars and unpleasantness in the world. In ancient times: During the time of the Romans, the Jews hoped the messiah would come to drive the Romans out of there home land, Jerusalem, so that t hey could live in peace.

No. Our tradition and beliefs call for a human messiah, whom we still await.
Who Jesus Christ was... a good teacher/rabbi or the true son of God and Savior of the World Jews did not believe in Christ as the Messiah, the savior of the world. What they expect for a Messiah is a political messiah that would liberate them from the Romans at that time. They were just disappointed when they knew that Jesus is talking to another kind of saving the world.
Jews are not Christians. Christians believe that Jesus of Nazareth was the Messiah. Jews (and remember- Jesus was a Jew himself) believe that the Messiah has not yet come.
The Jews are waiting for the messiah to come. Christians believe Jesus was the messiah.
yes the difference is that Jews still wait for the messiah and Christians believe that Jesus Christ is the messiah
Jews await the Moshiach (messiah) because he is to rebuild the Holy Temple and begin an era of peace and of closeness to God.
Jews call "the Messiah" as "the Messiah" or in Hebrew "HaMoshiach" (המשיח). However, as opposed to other religions, such as Christianity or Islam, Judaism does not believe that the Messiah has come yet and therefore is not identified with any person. For example, Jews don't believe that Jesus was the Messiah and, therefore, do not accept the Christian or Islamic claims that he was a God prophet or God/son of God.
The messiah
Messiah
Orthodox Jews do not know who the next messiah will be. But the Jewish definition of messiah is that he will be an ordinary human man, who will be a leader (and not a human sacrifice or a half-man half-god hybrid).
The Jews do not recognize Jesus of Nazareth as the Messiah, they are still waiting for the Messiah to come.
Messiah means one anointed in holy oils. There have been many messiahs. All of the prophets were messiahs, some kings, and even some non-Jews. When people say 'The Messiah' they mean a future messiah who will be a decedent of King David who will fulfill all the requirements of the messiah. Since the Jewish Messiah has not yet been born, no, the future messiah is not the father of the Jews. Christians see the Messiah as Jesus and they also view Jesus as the son of God and God himself. Jews do not agree. Jews do not think the Messiah will be God or his son and Jews believe that the messiah has not come yet.
