Wrong. to hope and pray (not "look") for the coming of the Jewish messiah is one of the precepts of Judaism.

The word messiah is the anglicised version of the Hebrew 'moshiach'. Moshiach literally means anointed and was a title given to any person who was properly anointed with oil as part of their initiation to their service of God. Historically, we had many valid moshiachim (pl) who were kings or priests. There is a prophecy of a future moshiach, however, there is nothing supernatural about him, he'll be a religious Jew who will lead the country of Israel. The idea of the moshiach is a relatively minor subject in Judaism.
