In this Saturday, Aug. 5, 2017, photo, polyvinyl chloride piping is seen on an utility pole as a vehicle drives by on Airmount Road in Mahwah, N.J. Thin strips of PVC piping placed on utility poles around a New Jersey town bordering New York have stirred worries that an ultra-Orthodox Jewish community plans to expand. Along with a measure to limit Mahwah’s parks to town residents, it has led to backlash from those who say the opposition raises worries about anti-Semitism. The county’s prosecutor ordered the police not to enforce that measure after Mahwah’s police chief raised concerns that complaints were targeting Jews. (AP Photo/Julio Cortez)

This photo taken July 7, 2017, shows Alfredo Baca testing a Kosher casket as other members of the group pick it up and listen for sounds that might alarm them that it is not built right. They have led lives eroded by addictions, violence and prison, but with all that behind them, the men working in the wood shop at Fathers Building Futures in in Albuquerque, New Mexico, are reconstructing their own lives while building something reverential. The men, all of them fathers, have been trained to build kosher caskets used by members of the Jewish community – although the simple wooden construction has grabbed the attention of others who are interested in them as a final resting receptacle.
