Okay, now I *do* have a Jewish-related question.

[conuly]

I vaguely know who the Jews for Jesus and Messianic Jews are. I'm curious, though - the few times I've heard them mentioned, it's been with some hostility. Why?

I wondered that myself the first time I heard the term "Jews for Jesus." I thought if they believe in Jesus aren't they Christian? Or perhaps more correctly some orthadox christian sect.

I've never run into that term until the web. Though I had heard on occasion Messanic Jews. But no idea what they are either. I figured they were some orthadox subgroup.
