The church is the bride of Christ and Israel is the bride of the Father.

I can see from scripture some basis for this interpretation. My faith and conviction is The Lord Jesus Christ centric for all mankind. Does Israel need faith in Christ to be saved?

You made the statement that "The Lord Jesus Christ is centric for all mankind".

Absolute truth in those words, as is the entire Bible centered on Jesus Christ. All of mankind, regardless of nationality, gender or race has one path to salvation: each and every individuals faith in Jesus Christ as our Savior. No other path exists and there are no exemptions.

Dispensationalism is a false belief. Please take a moment and go to the link below which briefly explains and biblically shows how this can be a very dangerous path away from our Savior Jesus Christ.

Yes they do and those that do not now, scripture says that they will during the Tribulation.
