I too will vigorously disagree.
Re-read the Gospels and you will repeatedly see Jesus observing all the Jewish religious traditions including: observing the sabbath; observing passover; reading scripture in the temple.
What the Hebrews believed Jesus to be is irrelevant to the question and what he himself believed also appears to be irrelevant since his actions proclaim him to be an observant Jew.
