My point being Christ didn't disagree "with the Judaism of the time" but with how some jews practiced and corrupted it. Most especially the Pharisees who believed that their sorry situation was God's punishment and if they could become more holy and pure in the laws, He would save them.

But to say Jesus disagreed with Judaism is a bit silly I think.

No it's not. He disagreed strongly with what had become the predominant religion of what claimed to be the religion of the true God. Most importantly, he didn't disagree with anything that was scriptural, such as the holy days or the sabbath, but only the traditions and attitudes of those who practiced it.
