What she said. Also, not only do most Jews believe that Jesus existed, but most believe that he lived an admirable life. We just don't believe that he was the Mesiah.
Also, Jews for Jesus is an organization that I find insulting. Once you believe that group's tenets, you are no longer Jewish. Please don't redefine my religion to meet your agenda.
And I also mostly agree what was said about Jewish evangilism. For the most part, we don't try and convert others in these times. There are a few exceptions; some Hasidic Jews, particularly the Lubavich, seek to convert Jews to their sect of Judaism.
Also, there is now a very small evangelical movement in the South that is recruiting Christians, who have a literal belief in the Old Testament. There was an article in the New York Times that cited this congregation:
