do the jews believe that the messiah that is still to come is the son of god or is he a saviour of some sort?

There will be no Messiah. Jesus (pbuh) will come down and tell the christians and jews there is no begotten son and that he is only a prophet.

the Jewish messiah is a regular man, (no more divine than anyone else) who is blessed by god, and would be a leader, a king, to among other things, rebuild israel and bring peace.
the jewish messiah was never supposed to be a sacrifice, god incarnate, more divine than we are, or anything like that.
not a spiritual savior, as we already HAVE spiritual salvation from God.
among other things, when the messiah comes the temple will be rebuilt, and there will be lasting peace, at very least, in the vicinity of israel.
its strange how christians so frequently assume that what they see jesus as, is what judaism expected the messiah to be. when it simply isn't so.

after the Jerusalem temple was destroyed ca. 70 ad, the Jewish community shyed away from the messianic prophecies about the coming of a messiah, and started to focus on the teachings of the rabbis
they do not believe that this messiah has come, but it is not a central aspect of their faith anymore.

We believe that he is a person chosen by God, destined to come one day and save the Jews from the evil in this world...sort of..

The true Jewish People do. Remember what Christ told the ones accusing Him, "you are of your father the devil, the father of lies and a murderer from the beginning" Just because someone calls themself a Jew does not make them one. people who live in Judea are called Jews because of where they live. EX: You live in America so you are called an American. I hope you understand, it is as simple as I can put it for those who need this.
