Jesus in the Talmud
Scattered throughout the Talmud, the founding document of rabbinic Judaism in late antiquity, can be found quite a few references to Jesus — and they’re not flattering. In this lucid, richly detailed, and accessible book, Peter Schäfer examines how the rabbis of the Talmud read, understood, and used the New Testament Jesus narrative to assert, ultimately, Judaism’s superiority over Christianity.
The Talmudic stories make fun of Jesus’ birth from a virgin, fervently contest his claim to be the Messiah and Son of God, and maintain that he was rightfully executed as a blasphemer and idolater. They subvert the Christian idea of Jesus’ resurrection and insist he got the punishment he deserved in hell — and that a similar fate awaits his followers.

If Jesus is mentioned (directly).......and I doubt that He is directly referenced as that would indicate that the Jews who helped write this record of Oral Jewish Tradition would even consider the possiblity that the Messiah had arrived............I suspect the only reference that would be mentioned would be one of oral tradition in the expectation of the a Messiah that is yet to appear............
My new name for you......little miss footinmouth. CE means.......after Christ. What? Are you a child? Again.........I stated, with no ambiguity whatsoever that "I DOUBT"......the Talumd directly referenced Jesus Christ, if there is mention of a Messiah it would contain an opinion as having the Messiah yet to come in the future........... I can't make a statement of fact because the Talmud itself is not based upon facts in evidence but entirely upon TALK...as in oral communications. I have no interest in reading someone's idea about what their history is opined to contain.
