now that she has accepted her place in the worldwide family of God?

It certainly is a matter of perspective, isn't it?

Or, is your particular orientation normative for all Jews?

It is not "my particular orientation", but rather traditional Judaism, which should be normative for all Jews.

Rabbinic Judaism and Christianity both emerged out of 1st century Judaism. The sacramental Christian churches retained a certain amount of "Jewishness" in their liturgy. But theologically they evolved in a direction far from their Jewish roots. From the vantage of theology, modern orthodox Judaism is connected to its roots in a way which Catholicism is not.

150 A.D. so-called 2nd Letter of Clement of Rome to the Corinthinas

"..and the Apostles declares the Church belongs not to the present, but has existed from the beginning. She was spiritual, just as was our Jesus; but he was manifested in the last days so that He might save us. And the Church, being spiritual, was manifested in the flesh of Christ."

There has always been only one Church and it grew in size and encompasses all so that no longer is there Greek or Jew and the convert recognises the truth and you, as of yet, haven't.

However, it is a Tradition of Judaism that at the time of the antiChrist/The last Days, Enoch and Elias will appear in Jerusalem and preach and convert innumerable souls.

Consider it a fact the good woman Bonnie anticipated their arrival.
