Depends on what you mean by "believe".
Do we believe he existed? Sure. Do we believe he was the Messiah? Nope.
For Jews, Jesus was a human being, very outspoken and willing to spread his message, but not holier than anyone else and certainly not the Messiah we're expecting will come. Jesus didn't fulfill a sngle Messianic prophecy and didn't have any of the characteristics that will make the Messiah universally recognized. Christianity fixed these gaps by saying that he will fulfill those prophecies in the "second coming", but there's no such concept in Judaism. The Messiah will come once and fulfill those prophecies then. No second chances.

Jews don't believe in that person as he didn't fulfill the messianic prophesies. One glaring problem is the northern tribes have not returned in peace.
There are many things in the christian book which don't agree with Judaism as it was practiced at the time. One is the last supper which is supposed to parallel the passover seder.
The only problem is, Jews didn't do a passover seder like that until after the fall of the second temple.
The language used in the christian book is significantly different than the Jewish way of thinking. It is more the Greek way of thinking. It's impossible that Paul who was supposedly a Jew would phrase questions in a way that Jews didn't do it.

A Jew who believes in Jesus is considered to have denied the very basic tenets of Judaism. All Jewish groups agree that this is outside the realm of acceptability.

Jesus, son of Mary, was sent as the Prophet by God to the Jewish tribe.He was the last among the many prophets sent to them.God has been extraordinarily good to the jews and had pomised a land to them also!
But the jews proved disloyal to their Lord.They mocked many prophets and killed some.
They never accepted Jesus as a prophet during his life time. They wanted to trade him for avoiding exile by Roman overlords.That is how on false charges Jesus was crucified.
Once Christianity grew, many jews joined it. Paul is the shining star among them. TheNew Testament is his handiwork.

No Jewish people do not believe in Jesus Christ because their last prophet was Moses.There is no other prophet after Moses died.In their Torah their God did not tell that after Moses will come Jesus as the prophet with the holy book Bible.They believe in other son of God called Uzair but he was not Jesus Christ.

No Jews do not believe in Jesus, and they do not believe he was a rabbi since rabbis did not exist until the Temple was destroyed. Jesus died before that happened.

Yes they believe in Christ, but they don't believe that Jesus was Christ ('Christ' means the anointed one).

There are many who do...like Jews for Jesus for example, not to mention the original apostles and Jesus Himself - all Jews!

Yes many Hebrews believe in Yeshua (Jesus).
There has always been a remnant who r believers in Yeshua, note in Revelation there will be 144,000 Hebrews & it even gives each tribe they will come from.

They believe he existed, but don't believe he is the son of god. At least the majority don't. there is a small amount that do, but they are a very small amount.
