Jesus on Judaism
The most important question in these 2000 years: How has Christ Jesus affected Judaism?
Q: How did Jesus influence Judaism?
A: The general Jewish belief is that the Messiah has not yet come, the total rejection of Jesus as either messiah or deity in Judaism has never been a central issue for Judaism.

It looks too superficial.
History of Judeo-Christian Relations
Among the Jews, Rabbi Johanan, a disciple of Hillel, had previously set up an academy after the temple's destruction in 70 AD. From this school, he organized an authoritative body, the Bet Din, to take over the duties of the Sanhedrin. Leading Jews of the Bet Din decide that both Hillel and Shammai were inspired by God, but the doctrines of Hillel will be followed in practice by all Jews. Of course, the teachings of Jesus are not even considered. The Bet Din also establishes, once and for all time, the complete canon of Old Covenant Scripture, including Ecclesiastes and Solomon's Song. These decisions have been followed to this day.

But, do all the Judaists today think that Jesus should not have been born? Do all the Judaists today think Christianity should not have been established?
Hypothetically speaking, if Christ Jesus had not been born, what should have happened to ancient Judaists? Anyway they had bee expelled out of Jerusalem and Palestine into the wider territory of the Roman Empire where polytheism was the norm. The Greco Roman world have overwhelmed Judaists in terms of material richness and cultural richness. Judaists would not even have had a strong motivation to enrich their religion to cope with the Greco Roman culture. Judaism should not have developed the Jerusalem Talmud (350 CE) and the Babylonian Talmud (499 CE).
What is worse, when the Roman Empire collapsed under the sword of invaders from the east, Judaists should have been also further dispersed as those invaders did not have any association with Judaism. Finally, as modern Europe was built around the Vatican, without the Vatican modern Europe should have been impossible. No Renaissance and even no Middle Age should have been possible. Accordingly, though nobody would have persecuted Judaists in Europe (as there had been no Vatican), Judaists should have lived with Europeans in Europe which should have been just a broken extension of the collapsed Roman Empire. Everybody would have been suffering to get any basic needs while being surrounded by various tribes and races coming from the east (maybe even from India or China) to Europe. Nobody would have minded Judaism and Judaists, including Judaists themselves since there should not have been the Jerusalem Talmud (350 CE) and the Babylonian Talmud (499 CE).

So, Christ Jesus has had a decisive influence on the state of living of all the Judaists who today live in Israel, the US, Europe, and other part of the world.
