I have read several sources that seem to insinuate or suggest that certain
Chasidic rabbis recognized Jesus on some level. One of Rabbi Nachmann of
Bratslavs visions is brought to mind, where he sees a wedding in the
World to Come. He is surprised to see a dead man there whose name he
knew; he goes on to say that if other people knew the dead mans name
there would be an uproar among the wedding guests. Both the groom at this
wedding and the dead man have "holy names," but he doesn't reveal what
they are. He then finds the groom asleep and marvels that so many people
are singing to the groom while he sleeps.
There is another vision Rabbi Bratslav had, where he saw a terrifying man
wielding a sword that reached from heaven to earth.
