The think about Orthodox Judaism is it is neat and tidy, in the sense that everyone is of one accord.
In the Messianic movement there is so much disagreement, some end up giving up on the New Testament because of their deep need for a zealous community. But I've also seen it go the other way. People who need fellowship so deeply, that even though they believe in the Torah, they'll throw it away just to be accepted and have a place to belong.
Being a Believer and a Torah keeper is often not a happy place to be.
