Polish-Jewish emigre Stanislaw Brunstein specialised in images depicting the lost world of Polish Jewry, executed in a naive style. The shofar (typically made from a ram's horn) is blown in synagogue services on Rosh Hashanah and to mark the end of the fast at the very end of Yom Kippur, as well as every weekday morning in the month of Elul running up to Rosh Hashanah.
