Many of us Jews see Jesus as an outstanding rabbi (teacher) whose story was hijacked by a man named Paul.
If Jesus suddenly appeared on earth today, he would feel much more at home in a synagogue than in an evangelical super-mega church.
Or an AA meeting. Or a voter registration drive. Or a farmer's market. Almost anywhere except a church.
But would the synagogue welcome Him? A jobless hippie is a dress?
I think they would.
That might depend on what form of Judaism they practise. As with any form of belief, there are varying practices from traditional to more (small l) liberal.
