Messianic Judaism is a monotheistic religion centered on the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth, that claims at least 50,000 to 100,000 followers and 300 to 500 congregations worldwide as of 2006.. Like Christians, Messianic Jews believe Jesus to be the Messiah. Messianic Judaism, however, does not identify itself as a branch of Christianity, but as a branch of Judaism. Messianic Judaism's adherents seek to reclaim the Jewishness of the Christian faith by exercising into their lifestyle and religious practices the faith and traditions of the disciples of Jesus, followers of a 1st Century Jewish messianic contender commonly referred to as "Yeshua" by Messianic Judaism. These disciples were first called by their contemporaries "followers of The Way," and then were later called Christians by their persecutors.
Messianic Judaism is a relatively new term, coined to help separate the practices of its followers from those of common Christianity as a whole, and in order to more closely align its faith with that of historical Judaism. Adherents contend that their faith was and still is Jewish,, but others vehemently deny support for such a definition. Judaism, , and the State of Israel do not recognize Messianic Judaism as a legitimate branch of Judaism.
Different congregations have adopted various practices of Judaism, but universally the practices center on an adherence to the Jewish practices of Jesus and his 1st Century followers. This may include observance of Shabbat, the Festivals, and even dietary food laws. Jewish halakha is generally not followed when adherents believe it may contradict that of Jesus, or the Apostolic law as found in the Apostolic Writings, otherwise known as the New Testament.

@ENNANIRE messianic judaism = Christianity, not Judaism. It's a shallow attempt to confuse and evangelize Christianity to Jews.
