Yes, the Body of Christ includes Jewish people. The context explains that the Body is especially Gentile, yet it includes some Jewish people, though not many. There are Jewish members of the Body, and it is unique to this age of grace for those believing the gospel.
Les explains that the Body of Christ is a composite of church age believers, a unique relationship in this age of grace. He states the Body is especially Gentile, but it does include some Jewish people, though not many. There are Jewish members of the Body. He contrasts this with Old Testament believers, who he does not believe will be members of the Body, since that is strictly part and parcel of Israel's relationship to her Jehovah God. The Body is for those who have come in by believing and trusting the finished work of the cross, or the gospel.
