(NYPOST) — An Orthodox Jewish religious teacher says her temple bosses canned her — because she was too observant and doesn’t work on the Sabbath!
Ellen Gastwirth, 41, says in a new Brooklyn federal-court lawsuit that she was hired as the director of education at the reformed Jewish synagogue Temple Judea on Long Island in 2005.
Gastwirth said everything was kosher until Rabbi Todd Chizner was hired there in 2006 and learned she was a Sabbath-observant Orthodox Jew.
