You aren't likely to see Jews out trying to convert Christians or members of other faiths; their proselytization is usually confined to trying to get non-observant Jews to become observant. I do recall that the Hare Krishnas, who are Hindu, more or less, were pretty aggressive proselytizers but I don't know whether they are still around. They used to be pests in places like airports and shopping malls.
