Most Conservative Jewish theologians preserve belief in the Immortality of the Soul, but while quotes concerning the Resurrection of the Dead are not deleted, English translations of the prayers obscure the issue.
It is Reform Judaism which has denied the belief in the Resurrection of the Dead. Belief in the afterlife has been reduced merely to the Immortality of the Soul. However, over the course of time, this has changed for some. By the 1980s, Borowitz could state that the movement had nothing clear to say about the matter.
The Jews are blamed for the death of Jesus because it was the Jewish religious leaders who manipulated Herod and Pilate into crucifying Jesus by charging Jesus with breaking certain Jewish laws making him worthy of death. The Romans would have rather released Jesus that day and crucified Barabbas. But the Jewish mobs at the behest of the Jewish leaders clamored for the release of Barabbas and the crucifixion of Jesus.
No. But the courts of law did.

The religious ethnicity that the German Nazis' sent to death campus were Jewish.
St. Stephen was stoned to death for preaching about Jesus and criticizing Jewish religious leaders. His death is documented in the Acts of the Apostles in the Bible. His martyrdom is considered to be one of the first recorded in Christian history.
It is important to understand what the political climate was in the first century. Rome was the first and last word on all things. Pontius Pilate was there as the long arm of the Roman Empire, ordered to keep peace among the locals. Jesus upset the Jewish leaders and Rabbis, not so much the Roman leaders in the area. But the Jewish leaders used their influence and the threat of civil unrest to provoke the Romans to put Jesus to death.
No, you don't have to be religiouse to believe in life after death. You can believe in this prospect without having any religion at all...

Stephen's death was consented by a group of Jewish religious leaders who were angered by his teachings. His execution by stoning was witnessed by a young man named Saul (who later became the apostle Paul), who held the clothes of those who were stoning Stephen.
The ordinary Jewish person played no real part in the death of Jesus. Those who were the political and religious leaders wanted Jesus removed as He was a threat to their understanding of religion and God. According to the New Testament, these leaders searched for any excuse to have Jesus condemned, even bringing forward witness who lied (Matthew 26:60). However, the Jewish leaders could not sentence anyone to death and so had to bring Jesus to the Roman governor, Pilate, for this to take place (John 18:31). Therefore, although it was Pontius Pilate who ordered the crucifixion of Jesus, it was the Jewish chief priests and elders who requested that this be done.
I would be surprised if it is. Stephen was a prominent Christian martyr who was stoned to death by Jewish authorities for his religious views.
Jesus was handed over to be crucified by the Jewish religious leaders and authorities, led by the high priest Caiaphas, who accused him of blasphemy and sought his execution. Ultimately, it was Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor of Judea, who sentenced Jesus to death by crucifixion.
