How do Jews who are practicing Judaism, view those who are attempting to emulate their traditions?

For an in-depth discussion from a reader about the various Names, please see: WHAT'S IN A NAME Yahshua, Yehoshua, Y'shua, Yeshua, Iesous, Iesus, or Jesus?

Jeff Weiss is the 'rabbi' that had the picture of his dog on his website, draped with the tallit [prayer shawl], with the fringes touching the floor, until the Michael Rood articles were posted on the Seek God web site. Then those pictures were pulled.

And these are some of the resources which this writer was told are representative of "real" Hebrew Roots, and which I was uninformed about. 
God forbid that this is what mainstream Messianism is about!

Many, while acquiring Jewish trappings and traditions, don't understand the Jewish religion enough to understand what the issue was when this writer asked on one Messianic forum-again in August 2003-, the following. 

How do Jews who are practicing Judaism, view those who are attempting to emulate their traditions? Do they view Messianics as Jews? 

What about the many "gentile" Messianics attempting to add "Jewish flavor" to their beliefs? Do they resent or mock them? Do they desire to become a part of the emulation? 

Aren't we to do things that edify, and avoid doing things that can be a stumbling block or keep people from Christ?

Do Messianics see the picture that had been flown on 'Rabbi' Jeff Weiss's website, draping a tallit [prayer shawl] over his dog, with the fringes lying on the floor, and know that this is an affront to those in the Jewish religion? Weiss is an associate of Rood and Koniuchowsky and part of the 2house movement.

The question was asked because one former Messianic had mentioned that they had seen the picture on Weiss's website and thought it cute. It's not. It's a total insult to Jewish traditions, which many Messianics are making a pretense of embracing. 

The prayer shawl holds the tassels. The tassels or fringes, according to the command given by God in Numbers 15:37-41, were to be a reminder to Israel of God's commandments, but those who accept Christ are not required to wear them. No real rabbi would have the fringes touch the floor, and this writer would likely not be wrong in suggesting that no 'real' rabbi would put his prayer shawl on his dog. There is no excuse for "Rabbi" Jeff Weiss's use of the tallit in this manner.

There's nothing new or different at Restoration Foundation than what has already been analyzed in the various Seek God articles. Just a few more names that are different.

The Jews for Jesus article continues with a link to Eddie Chumney's second site, which is the URL this writer was originally given as a good source to learn about Hebrew Roots, and states:

 Similarly, the Hebraic Roots Of Christianity Global Network >http://www.hebroots.org/ >website links to materials on the Two-House Theory. On the other hand "Restore!" published an article that seems traditionally evangelical, by a retired official of the Reformed Churches in America...." 11

This writer was also told another positive resource to educate myself about Hebrew Roots was, "....And we can get an additional overview of what are really "Hebrew Roots" folks at http://www.aihls.org/faculty.html Quite a diverse group.." 
Brad Young, Marvin Wilson, Dwight Pryor, Richard Booker [mentioned in Restoration links and above] and Ron Moseley are all recommended as essentially good Hebrew Roots writers--what would be acceptable to "mainstream" Messianism.
Again quoting from the Jews for Jesus article, we see that the recommended www.aihls.org is actually the American Institute of Middle Eastern Studies, which was promoted in the Restoration Foundation links, and includes the names already mentioned in this article:
"One teaching institution that is part of this movement is the American Institute of Middle Eastern Studies (formerly called the Arkansas Institute of Holy Land Studies) headed by Ron Moseley. Faculty include Roy Blizzard, Marv Wilson, and Brad Young, among others. According to the Christian Research Institute >http://www.equip.org/, Blizzard comes "precariously close to rejecting the inerrancy of Scripture" and appears to hold "to an aberrant, if not heretical, view of the Trinity."... one organization within this network is HaKesher >http://www.hakesher.org, > the ministry of Robert Lindsay, one of the scholars who helped promulgate the "original Hebrew gospels" view. Also cited as teachers with this ministry are Joseph Frankovic, David Bivin, and Brad Young. Some of these are connected with Oral Roberts University.
