Aug 25, 2020 at 18:33 comment added Turk Hill @RayButterworth I can only say that I suggest that you at least read Rabbi Shmuley Boteach before making a decision.
Aug 25, 2020 at 18:31 comment added Ray Butterworth @TurkHill, so it was a common tradition to execute Jesuses from Nazareth on Passover eve.
Aug 25, 2020 at 18:24 comment added Turk Hill @RayButterworth In his book "Kosher Jesus" Rabbi Shmuley Boteach explains that these references are not referring to the Christian Jesus but another Jesus. If you go back 2000yrs you will notice that when you shout the name "Jesus" at least 20 heads would turn. "Jesus," Yeshu, was a popular name in ancient Israel. Just because the Talmud "mentions" a "Jesus" does not mean it's talking about Christianity's Jesus at all.
Aug 25, 2020 at 18:20 comment added Ray Butterworth @TurkHill, there are many references, not none "at all, whatsoever". E.g. see Argon's suggested reference, or look at Sanhedrin 43a: "On Passover Eve they hung the corpse of Jesus the Nazarene after they killed him by way of stoning. And a crier went out before him for forty days, publicly proclaiming: Jesus the Nazarene is going out to be stoned because he practiced sorcery, incited people to idol worship, and led the Jewish people astray.". Or search for Jesus the Nazarene in The Sefaria Library.
Aug 25, 2020 at 17:46 comment added Turk Hill No, there are no references to Jesus at all, whatsoever, in the Talmud.
Aug 8, 2019 at 15:15 comment added Argon See "Jesus in the Talmud" by Peter Schäfer for a comprehensive discussion.

Dec 4, 2018 at 14:55 comment added Isaac Moses @sam and DoubleAA that sounds like a worthwhile answer.
Dec 4, 2018 at 14:52 comment added Double AA There's very little Aggada in the Yerushalmi. It's not like the Bavli. I don't know if Jesus is mentioned or not, but it wouldn't surprise me if he isn't.
Dec 4, 2018 at 14:50 comment added sam The Yerushalmi usually does not concern itself with stories ,so makes sense ישו does not make it in
