I know they don't beleive in Christ as the son of God but do respect him as a prophit. In which case does the New Testament play any role in Jewish religious practices???

There is nothing about Jesus in Jewish texts. Jews do not believe the messiah will be God. We will know him because there will be peace on earth. We are expected to do our part in bringing peace on earth -- we aren't waiting for a miracle.
Jews for Jesus are Christians. I've seen postings about Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses on here. Jews feel exactly the same way about Jews for Jesus. Very annoying.
Instead of converting Jews to Christianity, why not work with them to bring peace on earth? Would Jesus be offended by that? Would that put your "salvation" in jeopardy?
Shalom

Samaritans hold that only the Torah is canonical. The rest of the Tanakh is man's writings. The New Testament, as far as they are concerned, is just another book, written by people who neither understood, nor follow the Torah.
Karaite Judaism holds that the Tanakh is canonical. The New Testament was written by heretics, who don't understand the prophecies about the Messiah. They are waiting for the Messiah to come.
Reform Judaism rejects the New Testament, mainly because Rabbinical Judaism rejects it. For all practical purposes, the Messiah is irrelevant.
Conservative Judaism rejects the New Testament. They do expect the Messiah to come.
Orthodox Judaism rejects the New Testament. They believe that a Messiah will come, but knows that one will not come in the future. [Over the past century, Orthodox Judaism has switched from believing that the Tanakh says that there will be a future Messiah, to believing that it doesn't. The concept of a Messiah remains important to it.]
Reconstruction Judaism rejects the New Testament. It thinks that there will be a Messiah, but that is about it. [Their quest is for a Judaism that is relevant to contemporary issues, and retains the 6000 years of tradition.]
Messianic Judaism accepts the New Testament, with Jesus being the Messiah prophesied in the Tanakh. They incorporate both the Tanakh, and New Testament into their practices.
Christianity accepts the New Testament, with Jesus as the Messiah prophesied in the Tanakh. It does not, as a rule, incorporate practices from the Tanakh, into its observances.
[Christianity originally was a Jewish Sect.]
Islam accepts The Gospels as canonical, but rejects Jesus as the Messiah. It does not incorporate any practices from the New Testament, into its observances. It did incorporate some practices from the Tanakh into its observances, changing them in the process. [ Islam started out as being a sect of Judaism.]

The New Testament is not the new Law, it is a TESTAMENT.
There is nothing in the New Testament that you will not be able to find in the Old Testament.
But Jews did not believe into Resurrection of Jesus, hence did accept him as the Son of God.

Jewish fundamental religion believes the Messiah's coming is yet to occur. But, there are the essenic Jews who have a belief which is even stronger than the christian followers. Which has branched out to the Kopts in Egypt. Very strict rules of salvation and the hereafter.

There actually are some groups labeled as both Jewish and Christian called Messianic Jews, Hebrew Christians and Jews for Jesus because these are Jewish converts to the Christian faith who have maintained a lot of the Jewish traditions while accepting Christ as Savior.

No, the Jews don't believe in the New Testament, only the old. They believe that he wasn't the son of God, like he claimed he was, just an ordinary man.

religious tolerance. it relatively is critical to have a trendy society. that's no longer taught in the previous testomony. it is in straightforward terms some thing human beings have arise with with the intention to no longer justify killing one yet another over a stupid perception gadget. Roman Catholics did no longer prepare this. Christians did no longer. Muslims did no longer. maximum religions do no longer even understand what the heck they suspect in, in straightforward terms staring at some passages and then forming ideals around them. The further and extra you study, the further and extra you're unfold out to believing in technology and rational theory.

In short, we do not consider jesus to have been anything (except possibly trouble). The "new testament" is of no consequence to us either. jesus and the NT are as unimportant to us as mohamed and the koran.
