Wouldn't Andrew and Simon/Peter be the first Jews for Jesus? As they were the first two followers of Jesus?
What's always so ironic is the (modern) anti-semites who hate Jews but just love, love, love Jesus... who, of course, was a kosher living Jew himself.
On another note, by todays standards (besides the son of G-d thing) Jesus would have been the equivalent of a Reform Rabbi- abiding by all the mitzvah's just in a more practical/modern way, like many religious Jews do today.

Great profile, thanks.
I would call the original apostles "Jews WITH Jesus"... :)
