Answer:
No. Once you start reading their literature that they mail available
to members (and on their web pages), it is clear that they are
Christian organizations whose intent it to bring Jews to Christianity.
Sadly, for many of these organizations, their membership includes
persons who are technically Jewish, but who believe and practice
Christianity.
This is illustrated best by some examples:
* Jews for Jesus. The following is a description of the
Jews-for-Jesus ministry, from the member profile page of the
Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability
([5]http://www.ecfa.org/mbrprof.asp?memberid=207):
Jews for Jesus is an outreach by Jewish Christian evangelists. Our
methods vary from conventional missionary work like personal
visitation and tract distribution to large display media ads
proclaiming Christ in secular newspapers and magazines.
* Messianic Judaism. Messianic Jews are organized into the Messianic
Jewish Alliance of America ([6]http://www.mjaa.org/). The
description of this organization at the "About MJAA" page
([7]http://www.mjaa.org/about.ihtml) clearly states as a goal:
Most importantly--To introduce our Jewish brothers and sisters to
the Messiah Yeshua.
Both of these organizations, and other similar groups, are clearly
missionary organizations whose goal is to bring Jesus to the Jewish
people.
