no.
Judaism does not evangelize, period.
from my understanding there was actaully at one point a rule/custom made specifically prohibiting it, because at one point in history doing so would be very bad for the jewish community's health, or something.
edit: to clarify... it is possible to convert, but its much more difficult than it is to convert to christianity... you have to really mean it, and really want it.
judaism also does not claimto be exclusively correct, or the only way to god, so the "urgency" that christianity has is just not there.
>>"But of course Jewish ppl cant accept that "their God will save all ppl, they think they are exclusive, so yeah thats another reason why they dont accept Jesus as the Messiah."<<
actually thats not true either. Judaism does NOT think they are "exclusively" saved, or that everyone else wouldn't be "saved" or anything like that, and thats NOT why jesus was not accepted as the messiah, Judaism does NOT claim to be exclusively correct.
its really quite amazing what nonsense people come up with.

Evangelism is not part of the jewish doctrine. They are not supposed to "spread the word" That's one of the reasons Christianity is so big, because evangelism is at the core of it's doctrine.

Jewish people only evangelize to other jews (trying to make the less religious ones into more religious ones). You can see ultra-orthodox men in manhattan asking people on the street if they are jewish; if yes, they try to get them involved in jewish life, if no, they leave them alone.

No they dont, they think "their" God its theirs alone, and its very ironic how they can believe, that the mighty creator created all living things and we all came from one source, and at at same time believe its their only God. They separate ppl : Them and the rest (gentiles). Isisnt that hilarious?
In my humble opinion i think Abraham was chosen by God, not because he was of a certain race, but based on hes faithfulness and thru that and came the so called Jewish nation, and thru this ppl he sent Jesus Christ to save "all" he has created which is "ALL" ppl.
But of course Jewish ppl cant accept that "their God will save all ppl, they think they are exclusive, so yeah thats another reason why they dont accept Jesus as the Messiah.

I think you have to be Jewish for them to share
their religion.
I thank God for sending Jesus so non Jews could
get to know God.

Have you read the bible? The jews kept their religion to their self and did not share the story of God with lowly Gentiles.

NEVER! they are usually reluctant to accept you even if you approach them to join. it is not just a religion, it is a RACE and a lifestyle. you are not welcome. They do not want or need any more jews. some modern non-ortadox jews make exceptions but then again, are they really jews?

No -- they don't.
That is one of the reasons why there are only about 14 million left.

Never did I see them do that but I know they have open doors to those who wants to belong.
