The simple answer is there is no middle man involved. You go directly to god. Anything else is on the verge of idol worship (which is why all the uproar by Moses which led him to smash the tablets when they had made one).
Now messianic Jews (MJs) are sort of that interesting middle ground. While mainline Jews only believe in Book 1 of the bible (the sequels are never as good as the original, anyway), the MJs continue on to Book 2. This leads them to believe in the J-Man while not leaving their Jewishness behind. After all, there is nothing at odds with doing that if you buy into Jesus being the real deal.
And then there are a million other customized versions of Judaism out there. I'm sure some have a version of the son of god in there. But that is not a mainstream belief.
Oh, but I would also say that 9/10 educated Jews do believe Jesus existed. Like the Muslims, he existed but was not related to God or certainly not god himself as he did not deliver what the Messiah was supposed to- so not the guy. But a good guy, I'm sure.

Yeshua is the same person referred by Christians as Jesus. Yeshua is the same name as Joshua. The Jews, however, do not believe that Jesus is God's Son. As a matter of fact, because of this, Jews reject the entire New Testament of the Bible. Notwithstanding, the Old Testament is filled with prophecies of the person that we call Jesus. The OT just doesn't refer to The Messiah, or the Christ by that name.

Actually, Yeshua is the hebrew name of Jesus, but Jesus is a latinized form - not the actual translation. Joshua would have been closer.
But either way, no, we don't worship the son of G-D - and yes, while there are jews who seem to only worship themselves, if you look around, you'll probably see that it's not just jews who are attending the Church of the Supreme Ego.
That's not about being jewish - I believe that it's called being human.

Biblical unconverted Jews and unconverted Jews of modern times do not worship Yeshua Ha Mashiach.
In their eyes he has not come yet they are still waiting for him to appear.
You can look in the bible to know the story of Yeshua if you do not like the name of Jesus get a Jewish translation where they use original Hebrew names. He is one in the same though.
Jesus is a male given name, the Latin form of the Hebrew name Joshua.

Obviously Judith, he did not know that Yeshua and Jesus are the same which would make him ignorant of the information, not a moron. Why the need to be so venomous?
But no, Jews do not believe the Messiah has come back they are still waiting, Christians believe Jesus met all the biblical requirements to be the Christ.

the only jews that do worship Yeshua (Jesus) are Jews for Jesus...which are not real jews bec. the fact that they believe in Jesus as the son of God. We do believe that he did exist, just not that he's the son of God. Not to seem rude or against the bible or anything like that, but how are you sure that Mary was a virgin and didn't have an affair?

God does not have any "sons", as far as Judaism concerned.
"Yeshua" is the Hebrew name of Jesus, so no, Jewish people do not believe in any way in Jesus or in his Hebrew name.

Yeshua and Jesus are the same. Jesus is just the Greek form of the name. The Brit Chadasha or New Testament was originally written in Greek.
Yeshua came to reclaim the lost sheep of the house of Israel, and after His resurrection the "followers of the Way" were considered an offshoot of Judaism.
However when Rabbi Shaul (Paul) of Tarsus joined their ranks and tried to preach to the Jews in the synagogues outside of Israel, he was rebuffed, and since Cephas (Peter) and others had been preaching to the Gentiles, Shaul started doing just that big time.
At one point he was sent by the Rosh Hakadesh (Holy Spirit) into Macedonia in Europe, and continued in that direction. After that the Gentiles began to be in the majority, and the Messianic tone of the Gospel was lost.
Jews continued to accept Yeshua on an individual basis, as anybody else would, but because of medieval anti-Semitism it was a miniscule bunch, and they were expected to worship as Christians.
Recently the Messianic Jewish movement started up again, with belief in Yeshua married to the ancient rituals and feasts of Judaism. They are especially known for their music and worship dancing, using many of the steps from the Russo-Israeli folk dance. They also welcomed Gentiles to join them in worship. Many make regular trips to Israel and we celebrate the Israeli national holidays.
The Brit Chadasha says that in the last days the gathered tribes of Israel will accept the Gospel of Yeshua as a nation and will be saved.
I myself am an associate member (Gentile believer who attends church on Sunday) in a Messianic congregation. We allow the individual members to decide what part of orthodoxy we practice, and we have more Hispanic members than we do ethnic Jews. It is said that quite a few Jews came to Latin America from Spain with Columbus and their Jewishness faded until now.
Please forgive my awkward phonetic spelling of the Hebrew words, which I don't know very well.

Yeshua is the Hebrew name of the Latin name Jesus (which all modern Latin-based countries use today with various accents). So I am currently of the belief that they don't worship Yeshua either since Jesus is the same person.
