(I'm not jewish, but I have been dubbed an "Honorary Jew" by my jewish friends).
It's not that jews don't believe in that there was a historical man whose teachings got recorded and made into a book that some people believe in.
The Old Testament (also known as The Torah) contains some prophetic writings that say that a messiah will come to redeem mankind. Christians believe that Jesus Christ was that messiah. Jews don't believe that the messiah has come yet. That's where the split between Jews and Christians began.
Yes, Jesus was Jewish. Doesn't mean all the jews believe he was the fulfillment of the prophesy in the Torah.
