>>If you don't have Jesus, you don't have the Father, so your
>>answer is 0%.

>You can't be conservative if you don't have Jesus?

Please let me be more clear:

1) Christians and Jews both claim to worship the God of Israel.
2) Christians believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God, the Messiah, the Annointed King of Israel, and Jews reject this claim.
3) Jesus said that those that don't believe in Him, don't believe in the Father either.
4) Thus, all Jews, since they reject Jesus, also reject the Father.

Thus, despite claims to the contrary, you can't be a Conservative Jew, if you don't believe in Jesus, since Conservative Jews by their rejection of Jesus also reject the Father.

After your statement of #2, #s 3 and 4 are meaningless to most Jews, since they only make sense to Christians.

Then you also need to reconcile conservative (Torah-observant) Messianic Jews, who do believe Jesus was the son of God, but are not Christian.

I don't have a problem with Jews going on a "conversion campaign". Shoulda done it long ago.
As the old saying goes "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em"!

Except of course there are over 1,000,000,000 (one billion) Hindus, and less than 50,000,000 (fifty-million) Jews.

50 million? You must be joking. There aren't anywhere near that many. There are only 5 million of us in Israel. Global numbers aren't more than 14 million or so, and that's probably an inflated estimate.
