I've known a lot of Jews and I have never heard one "renounce" Jesus.
They don't accept him as the Messiah -- they're still waiting -- but
they regard him as a very important prophet. In fact, a really common
complaint I hear is "why don't the Christians listen to Jesus, if they
think he's so important". And when I ask what they mean, I usually hear,
"the Rabbi said, 'Love your God with all your heart, with all your soul,
with all your mind, with all of your deeds' and he also said 'Love your
neighbor as you love yourself'. The two things are highly related and
you can't really do one without the other".

I myself am rather curious why so many Christians profess to worship
Jesus but just don't seem to be interested in obeying the commands of Jesus.

If Jesus said, "love your neighbor as you love yourself" and your
neighbor is a Jew, if you hate your neighbor for being Jewish, you are
offending against the advice of Jesus. _That_ would be renouncing Jesus.
