Answer by Ambivalent LAUreate
That’s not really a question that’s possible to answer, because the term ‘non-Messianic Judaism’ doesn’t have any meaning. All Jews hold out a hope for a coming messiah or messianic age. I have only ever seen the term used by some so-called “Messianic Jews” who are not, of course, actually Jews, as part of their attempt to claim that they are a branch of Judaism and so they distinguish between “messianic” and “non-messianic” Judaism. In reality, there are Jews (of various branches including Orthodox, Reconstructionist, Reform, Conservative, Masorti, Liberal etc) and there are people whose beliefs are not Jewish.

EDIT: Oh, look!! Four thumbs downs for each of us first three answerers who all agree. I wonder who on earth those could have come from? [NB heavy sarcasm]
