Not familiar with that. Can I learn a little?

So there are four modes of execution under Jewish law.

They are:

Stoning (not the same as arabs, they push off a building and then drop a big rock on you)
Strangulation/Hanging
Decapitation (with a sword)
Burning (molten lead poured down throat)

Now it should be noted that a court that executed twice in a decade was considered a court of murderes and disbanded and that the rules of evidence were such that it was nearly impossible to impose these penalties. They were on the books, but the Rabbis hated to use them.

It should also be noted that a Jewish court has not executed anyone in over 2000 years.
