You can bid on almost anything a synagogue would normally offer! Honors like Maftir Yonah, Chosson Torah, P’sicha of Neilah, and more. Not only are these honors steeped in tradition, but they’ve been known to bring wealth, health, children, and even a spouse! Trust me—I bought Chosson Torah, paid off my shul over 6 months, and met my wife three days after I finished paying it off. Coincidence? I don’t think so!

It’s virtual, baby! No more sitting in shul during Yom Kippur trying to outbid your neighbor. Here, you bid ahead of time, and you can lock in your honor before the holiday even starts. No credit card needed upfront—you’ll work out payment directly with the synagogue after you win, just like when you get a bill in the mail after bidding in-person at shul.

It varies! Some start as low as $50, while others can start at $1,000 or more, depending on what the synagogue could get locally. You might find amazing deals that would cost thousands in-person, all for just a couple of hundred bucks here. We’re all about matching bidders with the best deals!

Absolutely! If you’re not into the back-and-forth of bidding wars, just hit the "Buy It Now" button. Most listings have one—it’s usually set higher than the starting bid, but if you want to lock it in immediately, it’s yours!

Easy peasy. Registering takes less than a minute—no complicated passwords to remember. You’ll get a one-time code sent to your email each time you log in. Answer a few quick questions, and boom—you’re ready to bid!

If you’ve got money, you can bid! Seriously though—this platform is open to everyone. Jew, non-Jew (Rabbi approved), man, woman, or even your 10-year-old kid with a lemonade stand. The blessings are for anyone who buys in!

Nope! You can live in Arkansas and bid on an honor in China. You’re not physically going up for the aliyah — someone else will go up in your place.

But the blessings? Those are all yours.

When you win, the rabbi will make a Mi Shebeirach (special blessing) using your Hebrew name, binding the spiritual merits of that kibud to you. It’s not symbolic — it’s a halachic commitment that the zechus belongs to you, not the person standing at the bimah.

For example, an honor like Chosson Torah is known to bring blessings of shidduchim. If you buy it through Kibid and you’re seeking your shidduch — even if the rabbi is in Tokyo and you’re in Miami — the blessings associated with that kibud are connected to you.

After you win, your info and the rabbi’s info are exchanged. You’ll work out payment directly with them, whether in full or through an arrangement. Kibid keeps things simple—we’re just the matchmakers.

Totally! Just work it out with the synagogue. Many people pay over time, just like in local shuls. The blessings can come once it’s paid off—at least, that’s how it worked for me!

No debt collectors will come knocking, but spiritually, it’s important to follow through. Be mindful of what you can realistically pay, and only bid if you’re sure you can make good on it. Fair enough?

Yes. When you click “Place Bid,” you’re committing to pay if you win.

• Legally: Your bid is treated as an agreement, and by placing it you accept responsibility to fulfill payment if you win.

• Halachically: In Torah law, a person’s word carries weight. The Mishnah (Bava Metzia 49a) teaches that one who breaks a verbal commitment is punished by Heaven even if no formal contract was made. The Shulchan Aruch (Choshen Mishpat 60:6) rules that one who obligates himself verbally to give money is considered bound by his word, and failing to follow through is a breach of trust.

It’s also important to note: when you win, the Rabbi is legally and halachically obligating himself to assign the kibud to you and not to anyone else. He is taking that responsibility seriously — ensuring that the zechus and spiritual merit of the honor belong to you.

You need to hold up your side of the commitment with the same seriousness.

Every dollar raised goes straight to supporting the synagogue offering the kibud. Many shluchim rely heavily on donations, especially during the high-cost holiday season. So your bid is doing a lot more than just buying an honor—it’s helping keep the lights on and the programs running!

For sure! Many people buy these honors for others—whether it's for a child, spouse, or friend. Last year, a mother bought Chosson Torah for her daughter, who got engaged two months later!

Your contact info and the rabbi’s info are exchanged once the auction ends, and you work it out directly. No middlemen, no extra fees, just straight-up dealings.

Hey, nobody’s perfect. We’re constantly improving, so if you hit a snag, shoot us an email at info@dollardaily.org or WhatsApp us. We’ll get things sorted!

Nope! It’s completely free for users. You can live anywhere in the world and bid on kibudim without paying a platform fee.

We do ask shluchim (the rabbis hosting the auctions) to contribute 10% of what they raise to help cover the cost of running the platform — but that’s optional, not required.

For you, the bidder, it’s 100% free.

That said, if you’d like to support Kibid and help us keep the platform running (the yearly maintenance is expensive), you’re welcome to donate. You can send via Zelle to info@dollardaily.org — just note in the memo that it’s for Kibid.

As long as you’ve got an internet connection, you’re good to go! You could be in your pajamas in Australia, and we won’t judge.

Easy! Email us at info@dollardaily.org or WhatsApp us from the DollarDaily homepage. We’ve got your back!

Blessings for wealth, health, children, and finding a spouse, just to name a few. These honors have long been known to come with serious spiritual benefits!
