Are Jesus and Yeshua different people?
No, they’re the same person. Jesus is an Anglo-Saxon name given to Our Messiah by English speakers as a result of the bible being translated from Hebrew and Greek into the European languages. Since He was born a Jew, to Jewish parents, in the Jewish Holy Land, He of course was given a Hebrew (not an English!) name by his parents. His given name was Yeshua (Hebrew meaning God Saves). In Torah Class we acknowledge both names as valid, but favor “Yeshua” as it is His real and original name in His own language and culture and is easily pronounceable.
