Jesus said in Matthew 5:17 that He did not come to abolish the Law and the Prophets, but He came to fulfill them. So how did Judaism and Christianity become separated?

This process of separation had a lot to do with the jealousy of the Pharisees after Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead (John 11: 38-44). The Pharisees were afraid that the Jews would follow Yeshua rather than themselves, and for this reason sought to kill Him (John 11: 47, 48, 53).

After the Jewish people living in Israel revolted against the Roman Government, the Romans retaliated by destroying the Temple in Jerusalem. Without a Temple, there could no longer be sacrifices, and thus, no need for the Priesthood. This led to the Pharisees’ need to re-invent Judaism, known today as Rabbinic Judaism. This new form of Judaism carried within it an anti-Yeshua mindset, and drove out Jewish believers in Messiah from it.
