answer:There are approximately 8,000 Messianics living throughout Israel. However, a true count is almost impossible as many Christian evangelical groups are now referring to themselves as Messianic Jews.answer:There are approximately 8,000 Messianic Jews known to be living throughout Israel. However, a true count is almost impossible for several reasons, INCLUDING THAT:Many Messianic Jews are considered to be Non-Messianic Jews by the Israeli government. [Supervisor's note: The Israeli government has no such designation as "not religious".]Many Patrilineal and even Matrilineal Jews are already not considered Jewish enough to be counted as Jews. Couple that and their Messianic Jewishness, and they are left all the more uncounted as Jewish. [Supervisor's note: Israel doesn't recognize ANY patrilineal Jews as Jewish]
Messianic Judaism and Christianity both believe in Jesus as the Messiah, but they differ in their views on Jewish traditions and practices. Messianic Judaism combines Jewish customs with belief in Jesus, while Christianity typically does not emphasize Jewish traditions. Additionally, Messianic Judaism often observes Jewish holidays and dietary laws, while Christianity generally does not.
Messianic Judaism is a modern religious movement, and it is difficult to attribute its creation to a single individual. However, it emerged in the mid-20th century as Jewish believers in Jesus sought to reconcile their faith in Jesus as the Messiah with their Jewish identity and heritage. Various leaders and organizations have contributed to the development and spread of Messianic Judaism.
The issue is that messianics are not Jewish, but rather, Christians who incorporated Jewish traditions (although with Christian concepts replacing the Jewish concepts) in an attempt to convert Jews to Christianity. Various messianic groups literally spend millions of dollars a year in this attempt and mainly target the elderly and the very young. Nowhere in the world are messianics considered Jews by any Jewish group.
