I suppose because he doesn't fulfill any of the requirements for being a messiah.

A Jew is not permitted become a Christian. However, if a Jew does convert to Christianity, he remains a Jew but loses his rights within the Jewish community and is to be treated as a non-Jew (i.e. he cannot be counted for a prayer quorum, be called up to the Torah, etc.). In case you didn't know...the Torah is considered the 1st 5 books of the old testament, Gen, Ex, Lev, Num & Duet. This continues to be true until he repents from his apostasy. Jews do not believe that the Messiah is a part of God, or Divine in any way, more than any other person. Jews look only to God for our salvation, and when the time comes for God to bring the anointed king, then it shall happen. Jews do not concern ourselves with the messiah’s identity, for the messiah is a person and the messiah's coming does not change our relationship with God. Jews do not accept the notion that Scripture “foretells” that God would robe Himself in flesh; in fact, to Jews, this idea is idolatry, and we stand against it.
The reason why Jews do not accept Jesus as the messiah is straightforward: he did not meet the requirements in the job requisition! God outlined these requirements in the Bible. The key aspect of proof is in the state of the world.According to the Bible, amongst the most mission of the messiah includes returning the world to return to God and God's teachings; restoring the royal dynasty to the descendants of David; overseeing the rebuilding of Jerusalem, including the Temple; gathering the Jewish people from all over the world and bringing them home to the Land of Israel; reestablishing the Sanhedrin; restoring the sacrificial system, the Sabbatical year and Jubilee. This simply has not happened. Judaism has no notion of the messiah not doing these things on the first visit, let along needing a second visit to do these things. Whenever these things are described in the Tanach, the description says that the messiah will come and do these things—once.
Oh, you want specifics? According to Torah, the Messiah will:
Ezekiel 37:26-28: Build the Third Temple
Isaiah 43:5-6: Gather all Jews back to the Land of Israel
Isaiah 2:4: Usher in an era of world peace, and end all hatred, oppression, suffering and disease. "Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall man learn war anymore."
Zechariah 14:9: Spread universal knowledge of the God of Israel - uniting the entire human race as one: "God will be King over all the world—on that day, God will be One and His Name will be One"
I left you 2 websites, and the first one is where I got most of the infomation, but there's more that I didn't copy and past. The second website speaks about the Torah. Jewish beliefs are centered around the laws in the old testament, so to understand what Jewish people believe in...get to KNOW the old testament inside and out.
