Why do Jews, especially non-religious ones, reject Yeshua?
It is a common misconception that Jewish people are experts on the Hebrew Bible, or so-called Old Testament, and that after much study they have decided that Yeshua is not the Messiah. The truth is that most Jewish people know less about the Bible than the average Christian. In fact, most don’t even study the Bible at all except for the Torah portions (from the first five books of the Bible, or the Pentateuch) that are read every Shabbat. In most cases, if they study at all, what they study is the oral tradition, or Talmud. They reject Yeshua because of the way in which he has been portrayed by the Church down through the centuries. There has been so much persecution of Jews by so-called Christians (e.g., the Crusades, Inquisition, Holocaust, Christian anti-Semitism, replacement theology, and modern-day white supremacist groups) that the Jewish community has rejected Yeshua without even knowing what he taught.
