Well, Leonard Cohen's mother was a messianic Jew, and he certainly believes in Jesus, as well as being a Buddhist. Bob Dylan can also be listed as believing in Jesus as the Messiah.

These people are not practising Jews, but are Jewish by birth, and now practise other religions. So while they are ethnically of Jewish origin, they have converted to Christianity or other religions.

Judaism, as against Shintoism, Confucianism and Buddhism does not allow you to run with many faiths, it demands total commitment.
