me as a child: this "$4.99" sales stuff is idiotic, anyone can instantly round this up to $5 in their mind, no one is falling for this
me as an adult: oh wow only $4 (with some additional numbers behind it), that's great because if it was a single dollar more that would have been the last straw for me in my miserable life
we talk a lot about ohhhh what if my calling is to be the greatest mammoth hunter ever and I'm wasting my talents in the modern era but we never think about what if Thog from 30,000 BCE was the only person ever born who could get a sub-7min Donkey Kong Country any%, and he never got the chance. what about thog
Now that the poll is finished, here's a little annotated answer guide of my opinion for those that are curious.
The first two answers are categorically wrong. Jesus is not considered a prophet by Judaism and he is not in the Torah.
The most correct answer is no role at all. The split from Christianity to Judaism caused the subsequent adoption of many religious concepts that to Christians are synonymous with Christianity: the Messiah as the absolute resolver of all wrongdoing, the twin concepts of eternal sin and salvation, good and evil, Jesus and the Devil duking it out for your soul are all in my personal opinion very Christian concepts that are orthogonal to Judaism.
Half credit for rejected messiah in that sure, at some point or another, basically every Jewish person on the planet has been proselytized to about converting to Christianity, but I don't think that's a role Jesus plays in Judaism. If you're on your way home where you will make dinner and someone forces a coupon for $0.99 off a sandwich from Subway into your hand, is Subway part of your journey home to make dinner? I don't particularly think so, but also this is the kind of Talmudic debate that would have kept my family arguing about shit for hours, so it's a very Jewish answer in that it's thoughtful and also kind of obtuse. Half credit for getting into the spirit.
Jesus could arguably be many things apart from playing no role at all, so for that last answer, you get out what you put in, I think.
