Many Jews believe that Jesus did exist and lived in Palestine during the first century CE, but that he was not the Son of God. To ask why Jews do not convert to Christianity if they believe that Jesus lived two thousand years ago, would be like asking why Christians do not convert to Islam if they believe that Muhammad also lived.
There is also an ambiguity with the term "believe in". Most Jews accept that Jesus was a historical figure and believe in his existence in the same way that most Christians believe in George Bush's existence. However, very few Jews accept the Christian notion that Jesus was not a man like every other man who has walked this Earth (which is the typical connotation that Christians mean when they say "believe in"). Therefore, those Jews see Christianity as a misinterpretation of a historical figure's message, not a proper religious direction. Those who do see Jesus as the Messiah, (i.e. Messianic Jews) are not only shunned by the Jewish community, but refuse to join the Christian community because of the amount of traditions eschewed by the Christian community (like the dietary laws, prayer on Saturdays, and a penchant for Hebrew).
