Jesus, being the founder of Christianity I think broke from Judaism. He was hung a cross for it at the behest of the jewish leaders.
Jesus (The Word) did not “found” Christianity. He is the perfected law of Judaism, making him the only acceptable sacrifice to atone for man’s sins. Jesus is the Christ & Redeemer.... And yes, he was a Jew.

This interpretation is inaccurate. Jesus was misunderstood as a political leader by the Jewish religio-political leaders of the time (the Sanhedrin, who were nevertheless under the rule of Rome), and therefore Jesus was regarded as a threat. But the Sanhedrin elite did not speak for the thousands of Jewish people who thronged to Him to hear Jesus teach and to receive miraculous healings. All his initial followers were Jews. He revolutionized Jewish belief, attempting to deepen the people's understandings to the heart-felt truth of the Spirit of God instead of expecting salvation from performing rituals.
Jesus experienced the same expulsion as Luther did from Catholicism and Wesley did from Anglicanism when they proposed reforms to return the people to a truer version of the faith, but which did not make them any less Christians. Jesus was, and remained, a Jew in His earthly incarnation. But as the Son of God, he sought to connect each person more profoundly to the will of the Father for their individual lives.
