properly understand Judiasm and its understanding of Jesus. Please, only answer if you really know or if you are Jewish. As a Catholic, I am tired of hearing people faslely educate others here on R&S on Catholicism when they are not Catholic and don't have the slightest clue about it and are only out to spread hatered, rumors and lies...so I am sure the Jewish faith would appreciate only accurate answers as well.

Guys, I think she said Jews or people who actually know.
Jews do NOT think of JC as a prophet!!! No Jew thinks this!
JC is not a prophet, not a son of a god, not a holy man, not the messiah; he is not any of these things to us.
Jews, since Judaism has no official position on JC, basically have no opinion on him since he has nothing to do with our religion. He is just a non-issue for us. Jews who do have an opinion either think he was a good guy whose ideas were twisted by his followers (very small number of people believe this) or that he was a liar and a deceiver, or just simply crazy. But for the most part, we don't think about him. He means nothing to our religion.
Peace

Judaism holds the idea of Jesus being God, or part of a Trinity, or a mediator to God, to be heresy.
Judaism also holds that Jesus is not the Messiah, arguing that he had not fulfilled the Messianic prophecies in the Tanakh nor embodied the personal qualifications of the Messiah.
According to Jewish tradition, there were no more prophets after 420 BC/BCE, Malachi being the last prophet, who lived centuries before Jesus. Judaism states that Jesus did not fulfill the requirements set by the Torah to prove that he was a prophet. Even if Jesus had produced such a sign that Judaism recognized, Judaism states that no prophet or dreamer can contradict the laws already stated in the Torah, which Judaism states Jesus did.

Not a prophet, not divine, and not the Messiah.
the Jewish view of Jesus is that he was a man that lived about 2,000 years ago in Roman Judea.
Anything beyond that is someones opinion.

They consider Jesus to be a great prophet and in Israel, revere him more than do most "Christians". They do not believe he was "the Christ" or the chosen one. They will, however, have it revealed to them by God, not man, during the tribulation.

They considered him a great prophet, but not the son of god. That came later when they wote the bible a few hundred years later.

A rabbi and prophet. They will point to all the prophecy that he did not fulfill and say he could not be the messiah.
