I am sure Jews think the world would be a better place if everyone was Jewish, etc etc

I am not sure that Judaism is an evangelistic religion. My impression is, they might welcome Gentiles when they voluntarily embrace the faith, but they are not going to send missionaries to convert people to believe in YHWH.

Hence, I can understand their taking offense. But if you talked to guys like Dennis Prager or even Rabbi Daniel Lapin, these guys ( who work with Christians ), THOROUGHLY understand the Christian mindset and aren't offended by it.

One Rabbi who might be offended would be Rabbi Schmuley Boteach.

“I am not sure that Judaism is an evangelistic religion.”

I am sure that it is not.

Jewish people believe the covenent of Mt. Sinai is for Jewish people.

All other people have the Covenent of Noah, which basically says “worship God in whatever manner God told your people to worship Him” (dramatic oversimplification).
