Something about Jesus and Judaism
The teachings of Jesus were, in fact, a plausible development of the Judaism of its time, which was periodically, before and after, reinvented in substantial ways by prominent figures, including ones in Jewish scripture that the Christian New Testament is known for paralleling.
Though early Christianity drew most converts from gentile nations, there were in fact Jews who followed his way – the 12 Apostles were all Jews! (Paul was Roman)
The thing is really that Jews as we know them today are the product of two millennia of mimetic evolutionary pressure against taking the Jesus path where it forks.
