Jews believe there will be two Messiah's, or - at least - two states of the one Messiah: the Messiah who suffers and the Messiah who triumphs. This, to me, always seemed to provide a surprising avenue for ecumenicalism. Why has there never been a movement within Judaism, however minor or major, to recognise that Jesus was perhaps the Messiah who suffered?

We have Jews for Jesus, but those are full-blown Christians of Jewish ethnicity who also utilise some purely Jewish texts and aspects of Jewish tradition. Why has there never been an intellectual movement within Judaism which advocated for this possibility of Jeshua being the Messiah who suffers?
