It depends on the time frame you are talking about, now if you are talking about the Jews during Jesus era than the Jews of course rejected him.

Answer

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 HaShem (The Creator).

Historically, we had many valid moshiachim (pl): kings, priests, prophets, judges. 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.

What is the role of messiah in Jewish and Christian beliefs?

The Jews and Christians have fundamentally different views of what a Messiah should be.

The Christian view of the Messiah is that he will be a Divine Incarnation and through his own expiation, purge all those who believe in him of their inherent and explicit sins.
