I was the Education Director of a synagogue supplementary school for 25 years. For various reasons, the membership and student population of the synagogue have been drastically decreasing, and when they had to hire a new Rabbi - who was going to earn significantly more than the Rabbi who was retiring - they could no longer afford a separate line item for an Education Director as well. When I called to apply for unemployment, I was told I wasn';t eligiable as churches and synagogues are exempt and they have never paid anything in for me over these 25 years.

I was layed off from a position for "economical reasons" on friday and started a new job on monday. The problem is that my new position isnt the position that I was told I would have, my boss had added several new things on my workload. and there are moral issues because i believe he is guilty of fraud. I now work in debt settlement , and he is collecting funds from customers , some that he shouldnt be, i have asked that he fix it and he ignores me. Last week , friday I was told by 2 clients thats they were going to send ppl to do an investigation and that we should all be in jail. (forgot to mention he went on a business trip to africa thursday afternoon) when I tried to contact him to ask him a few questions, his wife called and asked that I not bother him in africa because he has to consintrate while he is there... what should I do. I am scared that if there is an investigation I would be in troub le for saying nothing. And I have small children , without a job or unemployment I will lose my house... What should I do!

I have no idea how long it will take to get both rotator cuffs repaired and get my meniscus tendon fixed. Would I be eligible for unemployment in this instance?
