Supervisor's Note: there is no one thing that ALL Jews believe. Orthodox, Conservative, Reform, and all other denominations teach that it is okay for Jews have an infinite number of opinions. The first answer was written by a Christian though, and contains some terminology mistakes that have been edited.
The following are all valid opinions.
Answer
No. Many Jews believe in the Old Testament Hebrew Bible or ("Tanakh") and that eventually all of the prophecies in it will be fulfilled, but they do not believe that all the prophesies have already been fulfilled.
The most obvious one is that Christians believe that Jesus came to fulfill the prophecies of the Old Testament Hebrew Bible. Some Jews are still waiting on the Saviour Messiah.
Clarification Regarding the previous answer, that which is "Saviour" to the Christian, is "Messiah" to the Jewish. Meaning of which is entirely different.
In Judaism, the Messiah (מָשִ××™×—Ö·) initially meant any person who was anointed to a certain position among the ancient Israelites, at first that of High priest, later that of King and also that of a prophet. In English today, in religious contexts, it is used in two major contexts: the anticipated savior of the Jews, which has to come in the future to bring ultimate peace on earth; and secondly, the one who is anticipated as, regarded as, or professes to be a saviour or liberator. Jews, however, do not generally use the word "saviour" in reference to the messiah, primarily because of the Christian connotation of the word "saviour," and the sense in which that word is used by Christianity.
In Judaism, only God is the Saviour (not the Messiah).
Answer
Jewish Argument Against Jesus As Messiah (author unknown) quoted from John E. Remsberg The Christ, page 362
We do not find in the present comparatively imperfect stage of human progress the realization of that blessed condition of mankind which the prophet Isaiah associates with the era when Messiah is to appear. And as our Hebrew Scriptures speak of one Messianic advent only, and not of two advents; and as the inspired Book does not preach Messiah's kingdom as a matter of faith, but distinctly identifies it with matters of fact which are to be made evident to the senses, we cling to the plain inference to be drawn from the text of the Bible, and we deny that Messiah has yet appeared, and upon the following grounds: First, because of the three distinctive facts which the inspired seer of Judah inseparably connects with the advent of the Messiah, vis., (1) the cessation of war and the uninterrupted reign of peace, (2) the prevalence of a perfect concord of opinion on all matters bearing upon the worship of the one and only God, and (3) the ingathering of the remnant of Judah and of the dispersed ten tribes of Israel -- not one has, up to the present time, been accomplished. Second, we dissent from the proposition that Jesus of Nazareth is the Messiah announced by the prophets, because the church which he founded, and which his successors developed, has offered, during a succession of centuries, most singular contrast to what is described by the Hebrew scriptures as the immediate consequence of Messiah's advent, and of his glorious kingdom. The prophet Isaiah declares that when the Messiah appears, peace, love, and union will be permanently established; and every candid man must admit that the world has not realized the accomplishment of this prophecy. Again, in the days of Messiah, all men, as Scripture saith, "are to serve God with one accord"; and yet it is very certain that since the appearance of him whom Christians believe to be Messiah, mankind has been split into more hostile divisions on the ground of religious belief, and more antagonistic sects have sprung up, than in any historic age before Christianity was preached.
Answer
Reform, Reconstructionist, and the majority of Conservative Jews do not necessarily believe literally in prophecy or that the Messiah will be an actual person. Reform and Reconstructionist prayerbooks have removed messianic references. Conservative prayerbooks maintain these references, but allow for meaningful discussion on the topic.
Answer 1
Many Jews at his time were calling Jesus a teacher or Rabbi. However, most Jews today do not believe that the Messiah has arrived yet. The one exception is Messianic Jews, who believe that Jesus is the Messiah.
Answer 2
Not even close. Jesus is regarded by most Jewish scholars as having been a false Messiah, like many other false Messiahs (one seems to crop up every 100-150 years). There have been a number of false Messiahs such as Jesus of Nazareth, Shabbatai Tzvi, and Menahem Mendel Schneersohn (although a minority of Jews still regard the latter as a quasi-Messiah). Jesus failed to fulfill a number of prophecies or reversed them.
Some of the most common Jewish arguments against accepting Jesus as the Messiah are the following:
1) Firstly, Jesus did not perform or take part in the most important prophecies that the Old Testament ascribes to the Messiah. He did not establish the Kingdom of God on Earth (otherwise God would actually oversee the world on a day-to-day basis).
2) He did not end all wars; in fact, after his death, numerous wars were fought in the name of Christianity, religious divisions in Christianity, and attempts to Christianize non-Christians. If anything, it is a reversal of the prophecy.
3) He failed to fulfill the prophecy of the lion and the lamb, where the lion and the lamb are supposed to live harmoniously without predation. Any scientist studying wildlife will tell you that the increase of invasive species, adaptive nature of animals, and the incredible inhumanity that many animals exhibit would be clear proof that Jesus did not fulfill this prophecy.
4) The Messiah is also supposed to make the Temple at Jerusalem a beacon for all of the nations, not portend its destruction, another prophetic reversal.
5) Finally, the Messiah is supposed to accompany the resurrection of the dead en masse (not just himself and a few random people who had been dead for a few days). The entire world is to be resurrected (except the wicked) and brought to the Kingdom of God. In this, Jesus also failed.
Of course, there is the one exception of Messianic Jews, who believe that Jesus is the Messiah, but these people are shunned by most of the remaining Jewish community for expressly that belief.
All of them? Not yet. Many prophecies have been fulfilled. A few examples: Other prophecies are being fulfilled even now. A couple of examples are the mass return of Jews to Israel (Deuteronomy 30:3-5), and the fact that Israel is considered a significant force in the Middle East, with a number of victories (see Micah 5:7).

While Jews believe that some of the Old Testament prophecies have been fulfilled (please see Expert Dan Galilee's list), these have been fulfilled through the passage of time and history. Judaism rejects the Christian claim that Jesus was the complete fulfillment of the law and prophecies of the Old Testament and further rejects that he was the fulfillment of any law or prophecy from the Old Testament.
Jesus went to the Mount of Olives to demonstrate that he was God and the King of the Jews. He had to establish this as a fulfillment of Old Testament Prophecy and to prepare for his crucifixion. Read Matthew 21 to the End of Mattchew. If you have a reference Bible read the references to see the Old Testament prophesies that were fulfilled from Matthew 21 to the End. A lot of them were fulfilled.

No. The question becomes, "do Jews believe the New Testament?" Just as you would read the religious books of another faith, it becomes a matter of if you believe it. Jews don't believe that the New Testament is scripture.
Jews believe the Old Testament, but they don't believe most of the New. So yes they did.
YES. Compared with any other religion, Jews have the strongest focus on the Old Testament.
Christians and Jews today believe and study the Old Testament. The Jews made it, but as Jesus was Jewish, Christians study it too.
Muslims and Jews both believe in One God, reject the concept of the trinity, and honor the Prophets of the Old Testament. Muslims and Jews both believe in One God, reject the concept of the trinity, and honor the Prophets of the Old Testament.
Christians believe he was, Jews and Muslims believe not. Certainly there is no direct or indirect reference to Jesus in the Old Testament.
That's pretty much the only part they believe in.
A:The Bible is already written for Jews, who do not believe in the New Testament. Christians call this the Old Testament, while Jews call it the Tanach.A Bible has even been written for people who do not believe in the prophecies of the Old Testament or that miracles happen. This is called the Jefferson Bible, after one of the American Founding Fathers.
Jews and Christains are related. They both believe in the Lord God. But the Jews only believe in the old testament ( Before Jesus was born). The christians believe in both the old and the new testament. To make this simpler the Jews didn't believe in Jesus but the christians did. Another name for Jesus was the messiah. Pronouced Me-Sigh-A.
because its the only book that is inspired by God.
