What exactly do you mean by Jewish Temple of Fellowship?
When Jews leave Judaism to become Christian they remove themselves from the Jewish people.
They are no longer considered to be Jews.
If they want to come back they need to renounce Christianity and commit to teshuvah to return.
Christianity and Judaism are not compatible.
The temple in Jerusalem Israel when they had one and every synagogue around the WORLD , judaisn had the authority to kick JEWS out for believing on JESUS of NAZARETH that is and was their's right ( BUT NO JEW HAS THE AUTHORITY TO CUT OFF THE BLOODLINE OF A JEW.

Jews who turn to Christianity and away from Judaism cut themselves off. They have joined another religion.
For a non Jew you have very little understanding even though time and time again it has been explained to you.
I'm not so sure Jews are God's "chosen" people. God is about justice for all the world. Not just a select few. He fights for justice and what is right in his eyes accross all people. I have no doubt God freed the Jews and faught for the Jews, but that in no way means he hasn't been there for another race somewhere accross the globe at the same time. Technically, Hinduism is the oldest religion, and it certainly is a LOT more easy to understand than the OT. I wish the OT would explauin it's phylosophies better than it does. You need to be a scholor in like 4 different academics to make any sense of things. Contradictions, violence, genocide and VAGUENESS make the OT the most dangerous book ever written. Islam is the perfect example of when the OT falls into the wrong hands. Muhammad basically used the genocidal Gods of the OT to commit genocide against the Jews.

We have a covenant and that is just what it is. That does not mean others cannot have a relationship with G-d.
Judaism maintains that the righteous of all nations have a place in the world to come. This has been the majority rule since the days of the Talmud. Judaism generally recognizes that Christians and Moslems worship the same G-d that we do and those who follow the tenets of their religions can be considered righteous in the eyes of G-d.
Contrary to popular belief, Judaism does not maintain that Jews are better than other people. Although we refer to ourselves as G-d's chosen people, we do not believe that G-d chose the Jews because of any inherent superiority. According to the Talmud (Avodah Zarah 2b), G-d offered the Torah to all the nations of the earth, and the Jews were the only ones who accepted it. The story goes on to say that the Jews were offered the Torah last, and accepted it only because G-d held a mountain over their heads! (In Ex. 19:17, the words generally translated as "at the foot of the mountain" literally mean "underneath the mountain"!) Another traditional story suggests that G-d chose the Jewish nation because they were the lowliest of nations, and their success would be attributed to G-d's might rather than their own ability. Clearly, these are not the ideas of a people who think they are better than other nations.
Because of our acceptance of Torah, Jews have a special status in the eyes of G-d, but we lose that special status when we abandon Torah. Furthermore, the blessings that we received from G-d by accepting the Torah come with a high price: Jews have a greater responsibility than non-Jews. While non-Jews are only obligated to obey the seven commandments given to Noah, Jews are responsible for fulfilling the 613 mitzvot in the Torah, thus G-d will punish Jews for doing things that would not be a sin for non-Jews.
Everybody must understand that the main reason between Judaism & Christianity is that Christians believe that Jesus is Son of God, our Lord & Saviour. Judaism does not believe in Christ', and are still waiting for messiah (the saviour).
Judaism has slightly stricter daily-life law for its people (usually orthodox do it), such as having kosher (Christians could eat anything), stricter sabbath (Christians could still work on Sundays), modesty clothes (religious Christians could wear anything).
So being religious Jew has much more rules than religious Christian.

From Judaism 101: Mashiach: The Messiah
The word "mashiach" does not mean "savior." The notion of an innocent, divine or semi-divine being who will sacrifice himself to save us from the consequences of our own sins is a purely Christian concept that has no basis in Jewish thought.
