In a nutshell, while a lot of what is wrong with believing in Yeshu came about after his death from his followers/early Christians (probably the divinity part of it), in his own lifetime he was clearly a sinner- a false prophet who tried to influence other Jews to deny the Torah. You can call him a teacher, but he wasn’t teaching Torah according to the accepted Mesora (tradition). In fact, the Sanhedrin (main Jewish court) condemned him to death for these sins (although since they were under Roman rule at the time, this was merely symbolic, and they did not have the authority to actually carry out the sentence. The Romans had him crucified because they considered him a rebel).
