∙ 13y agoIsrael has been promised a messiah by God.
This theme is found throughout the Old Testament. Ever since the promise was made the Jews have been anticipating their Messiah. The Messiah is to come from the blood line of David.
Those Jews who do not believe Jesus is the Messiah are still looking for their Messiah to come.
------
The Jews do not believe the messiah will first come to be lead as a sheep to the slaughter (which is what Jesus did). They believe only in the Kingship aspect of the Messiah prophecies, which is why the Jewish religious leaders of Jesus's day missed His coming.
Jewish AnswerThe word 'messiah' is the anglicisation of the Hebrew 'moshiach'. The word moshiach translates to 'anointed'. The title of moshiach was given to any person who was appropriately anointed with oil as part of their initiation to their service of HaShem. We have had many moshiachim (pl) in the form of kings, priests, prophets, and judges. There is absolutely nothing supernatural about a moshiach. There is a prophecy about a future moshiach (called hamoshiach), however, he'll be a mortal man who will lead the country of Israel. This is a relatively minor topic in Judaism.
2000 years ago Jews hoped for the arrival of hamoshiach, it wasn't expected. The reason being was that they were living under brutal occupation and hoped the person who would be able to free them from this would be born. Based on the Christian Bible, Jesus would not have met a single requirement for hamoshiach. In fact, he did not meet a single requirement for being any type of moshiach. Simply put, the Christian concept of messiah does not exist anywhere in Judaism and the Tanach (Jewish Bible).

Like Christians and Muslims, Jews worship God because they believe that he exists, that he created the world, and that he has the power to reward those who worship him.

∙ 8y agoThe Jews wanted (and still want) a messiah, only because God promised it. Not for any other reason. Not because of the Romans, or the exile, or the Inquisition or the Crusades or any other circumstance (though these certainly sharpened their anticipation). God promised the Jews an eventual Redemption (and redeemer) in Numbers ch.24, Isaiah ch.11, and tens of other passages.
The Messiah will:
* Build the Third Temple (Ezekiel 37:26-28).
* Gather all Jews back to the Land of Israel (Isaiah 43:5-6).
* Usher in an era of world peace, and end all hatred and oppression. As it says: "Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, nor shall they learn war any more" (Isaiah 2:4).
* Spread universal knowledge of the God of Israel, which will unite humanity as one. As it says: "God will be King over all the world. On that day, God will be One and His Name will be One" (Zechariah 14:9).
* Lead the Jewish people to full Torah-observance (Maimonides).

∙ 9y agoJews do not worship the Messiah; they exclusively worship God. Perhaps you are confusing Judaism with Christianity, where Jesus, the Messiah, is also worshipped as a God.

Is a Torah Jew an Orthodox Jew?
It depends on how the term is meant. "Torah Jews" can mean more than one thing. If the definition is: Those who live the laws of the Torah (which is the way the phrase "Torah Jews" is usually used), then it is understandably common to reserve that description for observant Jews. It is indeed customary today to call observant Jews "Torah Jews"; so the answer to the question is Yes. The word "Orthodox" is seen by many Torah Jews to be an exonym, i.e. a term applied to them by non-Orthodox, whereas they prefer the term "Torah Jews". If the definition is: Who is Jewish according to the Torah, then Torah Jews would include non-observant Jews, because they don't cease being Jewish. All Jews, regardless of levels of observance are "Torah Jews" since their Jewishness is derived from the Torah's mandates.
Do Jews worship by themselves?
There are occasions where Jews worship alone, but these are rare and are generally to be avoided. If it is possible for a Jew to pray in a kehillah (congregation), this is greatly encouraged.
