Bear with me for a moment:
Illustration:
God foretold long ago that A, B, C & D would happen with regard to Israel.
Then A, B, C & D happened, just as He said.
Now today we might be seeing something that looks partly similar to 'A' happening, with regard to the modern State of Israel.
But that doesn't mean that what we're seeing happen today is the direct fulfilment of God's prediction to do 'A'. He already did 'A' - and when He did it, He did it exactly as written in all of its details, not just a part lookalike.
And it certainly doesn't mean we should expect to start seeing 'B' happen in future - because that isn't relevant anymore like it was relevant back when He did 'A'.
Rather, what we are seeing happen today, even though it may look partly similar to 'A', is really something that has only been possible because of the fact that A, B, C & D were already done long ago.
Therefore that doesn't mean we should start doing 'B'!
It means Jews need to realise 'C' already came. 'C' is not still-future for Israel.
It doesn't mean the Gospel is something else (like 'E' or something) while we wait for God to finally do A, B C & D for Israel. No - the Gospel IS the proclamation that 'C' indeed followed 'A' and 'B'. And 'D' also followed 'A', 'B' & 'C', exactly as predicted.
Explanation:
A = Israel regathered from captivity
B = resumed Temple worship
C = Christ
D = outcome (not all believed)
History has already seen the fulfilment of Bible-Prophecies about Israel's regathering from Babylon, about their resuming Temple worship thanks to Cyrus decree, about Christ then coming and ending the Old Covenant and bringing the New, and only a remnant believed - all precisely as foreseen.
So the fact we have seen many people in modern times doing Aliyah does not mean Bible-Prophecies about Israel's regathering (from Babylon) are only now seeing their fulfilment. Otherwise we should also see Mosaic worship restored; and it would mean Jesus came too early to be the Messiah.
No, God already fulfilled all that - and having fulfilled it, His goodwill towards Jews never changed, was never revoked. Therefore we are still able to see modern Israelis blessed in every way - in response to believing prayer.
Not to directly fulfil Bible-Prophecy - but because Bible-Prophecy has already been fulfilled.
So rest assured: it won't be necessary for you to mix modern Judaism with your faith.
Everything is actually now all about JESUS
