“*** NOTE: I do not equate Judaism with a cult. I also do not suggest that a Jew must leave Judaism to become a Christian! To the contrary, Jews who come to believe that Jesus is Messiah are called “Messianic Jews.” They do not give up their Jewishness.

Tragically, over the centuries, the Catholic Church and some Chistian groups insisted that Jews professing faith in Jesus as Messiah completely renounce their Jewish heritage.

Many Jews were forced to not only profess Christian faith, but give up all their traditions and even their very identity as Jews, much to the shame of Christians. Those who say God’s promises to Israel are no longer effacacious because the Church has replaced Israel are in essence calling God a liar. God’s promises to Israel will all be fulfilled, praise His holy name!”

Which church did she end up in? A Catholic bashing one? Because I have never heard of the Catholic church asking Jews to give up their identity. Since we recognize that Jesus and all the apostles were Jews.

Let's leave this rabbithole for another time; another thread.
