Just as there are divisions with the Christian religion (Catholic, Protestant, etc) or the Muslim religions (Shiite, Sunni, etc), so there are divisions within the Jewish religion.
One of the major divisions in the Jewish faith, at the time was Jesus, were the Sadducees. They only recognized the first five books of the Old Testament (which are properly called the "Torah") as the word of God. They did not recognize the rest of the Old Testament as scripture. As such, they would not have accepted the book of Job.
They also denied the existence of angels, or any other spiritual beings, holding that God alone existed in the spiritual realm. And also rejected the idea of an eternal soul or a resurrection. In fact, when Paul is put in trial in the book of Acts, he uses this belief to split the council trying him so that it can not reach a verdict and he is able to appeal to Caesar for a new trial.
When Jerusalem was destroyed in 73 AD, the Sadducees as a group came to an end. The other major division, the Pharisees, would relocate in Judea and write what is called the "Talmud", which were their traditions and teachings. Those would become the major doctrines of Orthodox Jews, the most common docrtrines in the Jewish faith. The Pharisees did believe in angels, etc.
So depends on what division of Jews you are talking about...

The ancient jewish religion, in which christianity and islam is an offshoot of, is full of angels or "messengers." I sometimes wonder where the modern christians and muslims think
their religion came from. Do they think it just fell out of the sky? Jesus was a hebrew rabbi or "teacher" who was a scholar and
mystic at a very young age. His belief system was firmly
entrenched in the ancient ways of the hebrews, - his tribe, his people.
Of course, the first christians were all jews. The messengers or "angels" that the ancient
hebrews interacted with and believed in, passed into the christian and muslim religions. When you're talking about history, you can always keep going back further and further in trying to understand where a people's belief system came from. The ancient hebrews had been conquered and carried off to other lands as slaves many times, so they surely incorporated some of their conquerers' culture into their own.
I cannot think of a more ridiculous statement then to say that Jesus was not accepted by the jews, when Jesus was jewish and ALL the first christians were jewish. Christians and muslims need to understand that they are practicing a form of Judaism and are
worshipping a rabbi, when they call Jesus a God. When they are worshipping Mary the mother of Jesus, they are worshipping an ancient jewish woman. The "Angels" or "Messengers" of the ancient hebrews flew along with the spread of the jewish-christian
tradition.

Whoever told you that is not knowledgeable in Judaism. We do not believe in fallen angels, because we do not believe angels have that kind of freedom of choice. We do not believe people become angels. There are angels all over the Bible (short answer for what we call the Bible is the OT).

I have never heard this before, I don't think this is true. Many Jewish people believe in angels.

Jewish people DO believe in angels. It is said that many can dance on the head of a pin.

It is learnt from Holy Bible that Jews never accepted Jesus Christ , being birth of Jesus is told to Mother Mary by Angels and having not believed Jesus as Messiah obvious not to believe angels also.
