Jews for Jesus is an international Christian missionary organization headquartered in San Francisco, California, that is affiliated with the Messianic Jewish religious movement. The group is known for its proselytism of Jews[1][2][3] and promotes the belief that Jesus is the Christ and the Son of God.[4][5] It was founded in 1970 by Moishe Rosen as Hineni Ministries before being incorporated under its current name in 1973.

There are no Jewish religious authorities[clarification needed] that consider Jews for Jesus to be a Jewish organization. Rabbinical authorities[6] point out that there is only one mention of the Old Testament (the Tanakh to Jews) in its "Statement of Faith".[6] Additionally, the Supreme Court of Israel determined that Messianic Jews are not actually Jews as belief in Jesus as the Messiah is not a Jewish value.[6] Instead, most Jews view Jesus either as a good Jewish teacher or as a false prophet, but most certainly a failed messiah claimant.[7][8]
