First of all, there is no "Jewish" language. Perhaps you refer to Hebrew or Yiddish, both of which are written in an alphabet that does not have a J. The J of today's Roman alphabet is an elongated, consonant form of I that became written in the late Middle Ages for the y-glide and the palatalized J sound.
