Because they think thay the Jews are God´s people but that is wrong in the book of Daniel 9:24-27 especially in 27 explain hat after messiah death the covenant will last until the end of the week of seven years, Jesus will be death in the middle of the week of 7 years (3 and half) and 3 years an a half later the covenant will finish that happens in acts 10:34-37 when cornelius receive Holy Spirit, and Jesus in Matthew 23:37 said the same but of course if you ask to Christians about that prophecy they even now that is in the bible, I am JW and for us reading and studying the bible help us to understand much better the plan that God has, for example the simple question what is the date of Jesus ´s death that is the next monday the majority will tell you that is not in the bible when it is wrong. That´s why they are supporting the massacre of palestinians by Israel and that is why Muslims hatess Jews and by defect USA and Christianity.

I can give you a first-hand account. Many years ago I left Christianity because I couldn't "buy" the kind and loving God that sent non-believers to eternal punishment, regardless of their sin. I asked several Jewish friends to explain Judaism to me because I thought it might make more sense than the Christian version. None of them could begin to explain Judaism.
Many years later I attended a "Taste of Judaism Class" presented by a local Reform Temple and learned that what I had come to "believe" about religion was also what Judaism teaches. I was astounded!
In additon, I think many people assume they are not welcome in Jewish synagogues. Just last night at an inter-faith meeting a Christian asked when Jews had opened their doors to others. Our rabbi explained that it happened when Napolean Bonaparte liberated Jews and others from the oppression and confinement in ghettos. If Christians have a fascination with Jews, they certainly haven't made much of an effort to learn more if they don't even know that all are welcome at Jewish functions!

I've not met anyone with a fascination with Jews....
I have had classes on Judaism to understand the customs of the 'day' when Jesus was on earth.... I've studied some of the land history of Israel just to understand where things were when Jesus was alive... and such
but as for modernday Jews... they are no more than people of any race or belief or culture or country... and my fascination alone is in Jesus, not people

I don't know about a fascination, but I think a lot of Christians feel some kinship. Abraham was the father of many nations.
God told Abraham, "And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed." (Gen 22:18 KJV)

well the christian religion focuses mainly on the new testament leaving the old testament kind of on the back burner. it could possibly be that christians are more interested in Jewish religion. from what ive heard, the Jewish rules and traditions sound complex.

I, a Christian don't but perhaps some do because they want to learn about what others think about God/Jesus & why ( I like all people the same)

Christianity grew directly out of Judaism. We share some common history.
The Bible is written in a Jewish context. To understand scriptures, I need to try to understand those who wrote them.
Jesus himself was a believing, practicing Jew.
For me personally, my neighbors growing up where Jewish and I found their different practicing facinating cuz they weren't like "mine."

First, you are not born into a religion, you choose who you shall believe in and who you shall follow.
Jesus was not a Jew, Jesus was the Word of God, cast down to the earth. The Jewish do not believe in Jesus. For the law was given by Moses but, grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. ----- Moses gave you not that bread from heaven, but my Father, who is in heaven, given you the true bread from heaven.
Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness and are dead.
Jesus believed in His Father, who is in heaven, and did the will of Him that sent him.
