The controversial attempt has been subject to debate within different Jewish communities.

No, according to Jewish law, the rules surrounding sentencing someone to death are so strict that when the Sanhedrin (court) existed, such a punishment was extremely rare.

Today, it's not even possible to sentence someone to death according to Jewish law as the Sanhedrin does not exist.
