Not unless your employment contract specifically states that he does.

One exception might be if you go on certain types of leave (maternity leave, for example), though it's not so much that the employer has to keep your specific job open as that there has to be a comparable job available for you when you return. In the US, nearly all employment is "at-will", which means your employer can fire you for any reason or no reason at all, so long as he's not actually discriminating against you (if he fired all the black employees, for example, that would not look good, but if he fired everyone who had been with the company for less than six months, that's perfectly fine).

Can you sue your employer for not giving you your job back after returning from disabilty leave?

That depends on what "disability leave" you took. If the employer granted you FMLA leave, then you must be restored to your old job (or a job EXACTLY like it) even if the employer must fire some one to create the vacancy. If you were just off sick or injured, you have no right to your job back, unless found in a union contract. Employers own the jobs and hand them out as they wish - the job is not "yours", but theirs.

Can you be fired for going on disability in NJ?

There are two law that provide job security during your leave for disability: the FMLA provides twelve weeks of unpaid leave for your disability. NJ has a separate law, but it provides leave for you to care for a sick family member - not your own disability. Your employer does not have to hold your job open if FMLA does not apply, or if your leave extends beyond 12 weeks.
