Since Jesus claims to be a Rabbi of the torah, would it make sense to go...

...directly to Judaism? rather than going through Christianity first?

Even though I am not especially enlightened, I do all biblical interpretations independently because somehow the Lord keeps giving me signs that he doesn't want me to convert or start following other teachers... even if they know more than me.
 
Check what Josephus tells us, Jesus was not a Jew. Jesus had nothing to do with the Babylonian Talmud religion, or any of it's rules and regulations. He, and His disciples were Galileans, (except for the treasurer, Judas) and they were fearful of the Jews.
 
Jesus was sent to earth by God to modify Old Testament teachings.His efforts at reform were met with such opposition that Jewish leaders arranged to have Him murdered.
 
Jesus was sent to the 'house of Israel', He sent His disciples to the rest of the world.

Matthew 26:13 Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her. (the Gospel that Jesus saves is in Christianity, not Judism.)
 
I don't know anything about Judaism but I know they don't believe that Jesus was our savior. So if you choose to believe in Judaism then you won't have God's FREE gift of forgiveness and eternal life in heaven. Jesus said "I am the good shepard. The good sheperd lays down his life for the sheep...I give them eternal life.." (John 10)
 
No.

Jesus was a Jew, and he was, according to Christians, the messiah of the Jewish scriptures, and, according to himself and his first followers, a rabbi. Christianity started as a Jewish sect called The Way, but was quickly rejected by the rest of Judaism as heretical and called derogatorily "Christians" (a term that was obviously reclaimed as a positive one). Therefore, Christians had to make their own religion, and still do have to remain separate.

I would suggest also finding a community; the community always accesses more Light from the Divine than an individual: relationships are part of holiness.
 
you speak truly when you say, "I am not especially enlightened" -but, your spelling is good!
