How do the Orhodox Rabbi’s interpret the ‘new heaven and new earth’ spoken of by Isaiah? Can a Christian dwell?

Isaiah 65:17 (King James Version)
17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.
What do the orthodox rabbis say about this and do they teach a Christian can be part of this? If no, do they feel Jesus is a false god thus what would be the fate of a Christian or any non-Jewish?

answer: All rabbis teach that in the new world to come, everyone has a part in it. To reach G-d, you don’t have to be Jewish. Unlike Christianity, Judaism isn’t an elitism religion. And doesn’t teach superiority like Islam that teaches Muslims have a better level in paradise than Christians and Jews.
There is no hell, no eternal torment = all reach G-d.
This is why Jews don’t seek out converts.
Jesus is irrelevant in Judaism. He was not the Jewish Messiah and some of what he taught wasn’t new and some of what he taught sought to change Judaism and is rejected. What he actually taught probably can’t really be known since things weren’t written down for decades and things were obviously changed since NOTHING in the “trial” is accurate in the Christian texts.
A majority of Jews feel Christians are fine in their religion, Muslims are fine in their religion = stop pushing those religions, however and stop telling Jews they are wrong.
