The Honors
Auction
There are twelve traditional Kibbudim up for auction for Shemini Atzeres/Simchas Torah. You may bid at your convenience online and follow the progress of the auction until the honor is sold and finalized on Simchas Torah night.
View the collectionHow the bidding works: This is an eBay-style bidding system. You may continue to place bids online up until 5:00pm on Friday, October 2nd. At that time all auctions will be closed online.
Before Maariv on Simchas Torah night, the bidding will be “reopened” in the Main Sanctuary. At that time, the highest bid for each honor will be announced, and If anybody would like to raise the bid, then a brief traditional auction will be held.
