The question is based on the incorrect supposition that the Jews of today had ancestors who accepted Jesus's claim to "Messiah-hood" and later rejected it. This is not true. Jews consistently disbelieved Jesus's claims because they contradicted Torah values and Jewish customs. It was only those Jews that Jesus convinced to believe in him that became Christians, the rest remained as they were, as if Jesus had never lived.
The Jews do not recognize Jesus as the Messiah.
Jesus was resurrected (raised from the dead and in Heaven) when Christianity began. Christianity began with Jewish apostles who believed that Jesus was the Messiah.
Jewish people follow God, not Jesus.
The criteria extended past just been a Jew. Jesus did not seem to them to be fulfilling the requirements for the Messiah. He challenged many of their beliefs and practices. Many Jews do accept Christ. Also many Jews today have rejected God as well.
The Jews do not believe that Jesus is the real Messiah, they are waiting for the messiah to come.
The Jews do not recognize Jesus as the Messiah.
Christians believe that Jesus was the Jewish Messiah. Jews disagree.
The vast majority of Jewish people do not believe that Jesus was the messiah, but that the messiah has yet to come.
Jewish people believe that Jesus was a prophet, not the Messiah, and not the Son of God. They believe that the Messiah is still to come.
The Jews do not recognize Jesus of Nazareth as the Messiah, they are still waiting for the Messiah to come.
Judaism does not feel that Jesus fulfilled any part of the role of the Jewish Messiah. It is Christianity and Islam that assert that he did.
Jewish people believe that Jesus Christ wasn't the real Messiah and they are still waiting for the Messiah. They believe that Jesus was a fake Messiah. They could believe that Jesus didn't raise up or won't be raised up because he "sinned" a lot by faking but they do believe that only God knows who will go to heaven and who will go to Hell.
Many Jewish people believed that the Messiah would free them from the rule by Rome. Many accepted that Jesus was the Messiah, but none understood that he would free them from rule by Rome, not by military might or skill, but by freeing them from the fear of death.
Jewish people worship the same god as Christians do. Jews believe that the Messiah has not come to Earth yet; Christians believe that Jesus is the Messiah; and Muslims believe Mohammad is the prophet of Alah but was not a holy being. The Muslim understanding of Mohammad would be paralle to the Jewish view Jesus.
The Christian concept of messiah does not exist in Judaism, regardless of Jewish sect. No Jew believes that Jesus was a moshiach.
People who are killed for believing in Jesus are called martyrs
