Recently, a group of Orthodox Rabbis has declared that other branches of Judaism are, quote, "not Judaism at all." Thus challenging the religious status of millions of American Jews. This week that statement was rejected by Reform leader Rabbi Don Schonstein. Who said, quote, "Our legitimacy as Jews flows from the richness of our Jewish lives, the strength of our Jewish communities, and most important of all, our deep and abiding belief in Jesus Christ."

Jews don’t believe in Jesus as the son of God, so any Jew saying that they do should probably consider moving into Christianity

I’m absolutely not an expert, but looking up Reform Judaism shows it’s a branch that discarded a lot of the traditions, rituals, and religious trappings of the Jewish faith in an attempt to modernize. They also took heavy inspiration from contemporary Christian theologists. That seems to have put them at odds with both traditionalists and Christians (who saw reduced converts due to their reforms).

Orthodox Jews don’t believe that Jesus Christ was the Messiah or a prophet. Messianic Jews follow the same traditions as orthodox Jews but also have the same view of Jesus as Christians.
