Isaiah 53.
Read it, have them read it and ask who is that talking about.
Orthodox Jews accept Isaiah as a prophet of God.
Only one Man fills the description of Isaiah 53...
Jesus the Messiah.
The soon coming King.

That would depend on a power I have no control over. I remember that I got into it with a Jewish man about God. He seemed to believe the line about God being everywhere and not having much of a personality. He didn't believe the Torah as being something that told the truth about God.
I gave him examples of God's personality, like God hating divorce, and saying that He found burnt offerings pleasing.
I brought up the Passover, the unblemished lamb living with the family for a time, and then the blood spilled at the door so that God's wrath would not be poured out on the first born of the family. Of course, nothing sank in.
And interesting note: I asked him about the temple being rebuilt. He in no uncertain terms told me that the last thing he wanted was a Jewish priesthood that resembled the Roman Catholic Church. Where sacrifices would take place like in the days of Old Israel. I thought that was a funny way to put it!

I have given tracts to Jewish people that show all the Old Testament prophesies that point to Jesus. Some are: Zechariah 12:10, 13:6; Isaiah 7:14, 42:1, 42:6, 49:6. Isaiah 53rd chapter is good. Isaiah 66:8 refers to Israel's rebirth in May 1948. Also, Micah 5:2.

Sorry, "Jesus" (Yeshua) does NOT fulfill all the "conditions" to be the messiah. We (Jews) are still waiting for the true messiah. Any Jew who believes that Jesus is the messiah- as in Jews for Jesus- are not Jews... they are Christians. Jews will never believe that Jesus is the messiah so there is really no need in proselytising.

No differently than any other person. I would not try to convince them He is the Messiah. I would present the gospel and make them aware of their need and offer them a solution.

Firstly, I wouldn't approach anyone with that goal.
I feel like it's too touchy a subject.
If you feel drawn to do that, I think you would probably pray intensely about it before hand.
Otherwise, what is wrong with being a silent witness? Actions speak louder than words! :)

Why bring it up if they don't ask or it doesn't come up in a conversation. Religion is a VERY touchy subject with lots of ppl.

The toilet paper in the stalls at my office is very coarse and I must admit to feeling a little "chafed" at this moment

You shouldn't.
I seriously doubt that you will find an adult Jew who has never heard of Jesus.

Why do you feel so compelled to invalidate another persons faith? Does it make you feel better about your own?
