Jews for Jesus is a Christian evangelizing movement that specifically targets Jews by showing them how Jesus completes Jewish teachings. Understandably, the organization is deplored by many Jews who believe that belief in Jesus as God or as a savior is blasphemous.

∙ 7y ago"Jews for Jesus" is a Protestant Christian evangelical group which has dedicated itself to converting Jews to Protestant Christianity. As a result, they spend their efforts to convince Jews to practice Jewish rituals with them. Once they have a friendship with a Jew, they begin to integrate Jesus into the events and messages. Eventually, they get the Jew to convert to Christianity.
Jews do not have the warmest feelings for Jews for Jesus members. It is similar to (although stronger than) Jewish feelings towards the approach taken by the Christan evangelical organization: the Joshua Project. Jews, while more than willing to have Christian friends and live among Christians, are supremely disinterested in being Christians themselves for the most part (excluding the occasional convert). What makes "Jews for Jesus" receive such negativity is how they lure Jews by pretending to be Jewish and interested in Jewish ritual in order to "sneak them over to Christianity". If Jews would wish to convert, they are well aware of how to do that; but they find the trickery involved in "Jews for Jesus" to be underhanded.
