I am in a profession that requires a lot of handshaking, and I always use the same line, and have had very few problems: I don’t shake hands for religious reasons,” and then I move on. Sometimes it’s awkward for 30 seconds, but people get over it, if they don’t, they aren’t being professional. If you don’t make a big deal, chances are that they won’t. It’s a good way to know at an interview if they have a problem with religious observances. (Which I have dealt with, it’s part of galus.) Find a mentor who has done it. Good for you YY, you will find a job that will be an appropriate fit. If handshaking will hurt you professionally, keeping shabbos/leaving early Fridays has been a much more difficult hurdle, like you saw at the interview. Hatzlacha.
Happiest and MP you are two of the strongest people that I have ever encountered. Hashem should give you koach and use that inner strength that you posess. Happiest it is phenominal that you have come to that madraiga of respect (on a daily basis-wow!). I have read a lot of your posts in general, and you continue to inspire me. Listen to your true feelings- you may know more about what needs to be done than you think.
Thank you MP for your wisdom and for opening this thread. Happiest, my story has a lot in common with yours. Thank you talking about it. You are giving me so much chizuk. If you don’t mind me asking (don’t answer if I’m getting into a sore area)How do you interact with this family member?
