Can you please cite your source for this.   It seems profoundly unlikely.

The Torah, I believe, is the Pentateuch and much earlier than Jesus.

Morton Smith, Jesus the Magician, Victor Gollancz 1978.  examines the
Rabbinnical references which are few and rather obscure but identify
the putative father, a Roman soldier by the name of Pantera.   This is
an important scholarly monograph on the scanty evidences for Jesus
outside holy writ..
