"I don't buy houses. I solve problems," said Scott Sekulow, who leads an Atlanta-area congregation of messianic Jews and bills himself as the Flipping Rabbi.
Messianic jews believe that Jesus Christ is their lord and savior like regular Christians. They observe regular jewish holidays and still believe that jews are God's chosen people. They allow gentiles to join their congregations (circumcision required among other things), but they strongly prefer ethnic jews-- and don't really want to co-mingle with gentiles. Other jews and the israeli goverment consider messianic jews to be Christians and not jews at all. They can be banned from israel's right of return policy, depending on the circumstances. A messianic jew won a religious discrimination lawsuit in (georgia?) for being required to work on jewish sabbath (saturday) while employed as a cop.

IMO it's just a group of jews jewing jews.
