Jesus isn't considered a "messiah" or "prophet" or anything remotely of that nature by Judaism. His followers, after his death, considered him the Messiah and thusly created Christianity. Jews didn't really have anything to do with it, other than being persecuted for centuries by Christians who blamed Jews for Jesus' death (also patently false).

I've had many Jewish friends describe their beliefs to me about Jesus "in layman's terms" as they view him as being a Rabbi of sorts, but nothing "special" beyond that.
