Romans 11
7 What then? Israel has not obtained what it seeks; but the elect have obtained it, and the rest were blinded. 8 Just as it is written:
“God has given them a spirit of stupor,
Eyes that they should not see
And ears that they should not hear,
To this very day.”
Eyes that they should not see
And ears that they should not hear,
To this very day.”
9 And David says:
“Let their table become a snare and a trap,
A stumbling block and a recompense to them.10
Let their eyes be darkened, so that they do not see,
And bow down their back always
A stumbling block and a recompense to them.10
Let their eyes be darkened, so that they do not see,
And bow down their back always
11 I say then, have they stumbled that they should fall? Certainly not! But through their fall, to provoke them to jealousy, salvation has come to the Gentiles.

Christianity and Judaism have never been united from the very beginning. All blame to Paul for keeping the division alive since then through his policy of Replacement Theology.(Acts 11:26) The motifs for the division among many other reasons, run from idolatry to Hellenism.

NEVER! The Creator of the universe, according to Judaism is of an Absolute Oneness which is the opposite of the Trinity.

Yes. The doctrine about Hell in Judaism is that of the grave aka Sheol. That's how Hell is forever because death is forever.

Both, all the Jews and Jesus kept Passover. We should not forget that Jesus was also a Jew. Why would he do
any differently?

The Jews don't believe that Jesus was the Messiah because the Messiah cannot be an individual; the individual is born, lives his span of life and dies. Are we supposed to expect a Messiah in every generation? Obviously not. The Messiah is not supposed to die but to remain as a People before the Lord forever. BTW, Prophet Habakkuk gives an impressive testimony about the collective Messiah in Habakkuk 3:13.
"The Lord goes forth to save His People; to save His Anointed One." That's what the Messiah is, the Anointed One of the Lord aka the People of Israel.

Replacement Theology comes from the Old Testament. From the beginning Christianity was under attack from Orthodox Jews, who were associated with Hellenism; but also Gnostic's and Pagans were also trying to take over.

That is true, Orthodox Judaism never taught Trinitarianism, but there were Mystic, Gnostic, and Pagan Jews who taught such things.

Sheol in Hebrew does mean grave. Hell is a place were people LIVE in torment. Did Orthodox Judaism teach that?

The question was about Easter.

Did not Yah save His Anointed One from the grave to become Yahwah's salvation? Selah
This is not in the NT.
