i got a job for a law office but theyre highly racist against jews, and i would have never gotten the job unless i lied about it, now theyre setting up the interview date and i think they will obviously find out, i need this job however and was never religious but i hate these "requirments" more and more everyday, and im thinking of quitting even though this job is one of kind and will never be given to me for another 10 years, is there any choice i have besides quiting, p.s. i kno theyre no supposed to be racist it against the law to discriminate but this isnt one of those situations

Keep the job, and endure for 1 to 2 years, resign for "personal reasons" and use that job to get a good recommendation and a good spot on your resume for another job where they aren't racist.

Why would you want to work for a company such as this? If you are qualified to work there then keep looking. There are law offices ALL over the country. Find one that is worthy of you.
Any job is not worth denouncing your religion over. You may need to become more in-tune with your beliefs and religion. If God is nudging you with a questionable feeling towards this company then you need to answer Him. He most likely is nudging you to come back to Him. Satan can sugar coat reality with a sweetness. Once reality sets in you will know the bitterness of it and sometimes it is too late to rectify.
Pray on it. Good Luck!! :)

Why would you want to spend 1/3 to 1/2 half of every day with people like that. You are in the right but, You have only one life and it's too short for that. Many more law firms make a new plan.

Unlike science, religion does not adapt itself to new discoveries that well and thus stays stagnant over the centuries. With new generations benefitting from a far better education than their immediate and distant ancestors, the belief in imaginary friends in the sly becomes absolute nonsense. They tried Christian Rock ... laughable! Kale nikta

It is illegal to discriminate for religion.
It is really none of their business what religion you are.
I cannot imagine someone in a job interview asking what religion you are, unless you are going to work for a mosque or a synagogue or a church. If they do, you can just tell them that your religion is a very personal matter that you don't wish to discuss, and that you don't intend to discuss it if you are hired, either.

Go to the interview with your resume and get the job on your experience. If what you say is true you may not want to work there. If you are good go elsewhere.

it's funny how often people are confronted with these situations even though we all know that they're not supposed to exist (situations like this one).
i think the other alternative would be to become a CRITICAL member of their staff and try to foster change from within the organization.
but it sounds like these guys are just moronic *******.
get your experience from them (put in your time as though you were in prison) and then leave with the experience.
then rat them out...

lie, take the job. they can't fire you for being Jewish. they cannot require you not to be Jewish to hire you so lying about it is not material to your employment. being racist is generally synonymous with being stupid so if they discover you being Jewish you will probably hear about long before you get a baseball bat upside your head. being that this is a once in a lifetime job it is probably a huge company so they can afford to settle a possible seven figure lawsuit.

You sure you know much about law? What happened to freedom of religion in the united states? If you can't fight for your own rights, I'd imagine you'd do worse for others....
