Capital punishment for blasphemy has not been enforced in Israel since around the year 28 CE.
The Modern State of Israel does not have capital punishment for any crime. The one exception to this law was the hanging of Adolf Eichmann for the war crime of engineering the gas chamber in full knowledge of how it would be used in the Nazi Genocide.

If capital punishment for blasphemy is no longer enforced today in the Jewish religion when did they stop enforcing it?
Capital punishment in Judaism needs a "Beth-Din" (a court of law) of at least 23 judges.They must have been ordained by current judges, and nominated to the court.There were a few technical reasons causing the cessation of those courts:The courts were reluctant to gather because of the general bad moral situation 40 years before the destruction of the temple (there are actually 36 different transgressions where capital punishment is required)The Romans persecuted and killed any court after the destruction of the templeOnly in The Holy Land (Israel) can those courts use capital punishment.Since the judges must be ordained by a current judge, and the Romans executed any ordination, by the year 136 (after Bar Kochva's rebellion), no ordained judges were left.It is theoretically possible to reinstate ordination, if all the Rabbis of Israel gather together and agree upon a person who would ordinate all the others. Such a task is very difficult, since all have to agree. Rabbi Berav of Zefat tried it in the 16th Century, but not all current rabbis concurred.
