	Business-Halacha - Liability Of A Gabbai (Synagogue Officer) - Torah.org
		If the Gabbai is getting paid for his job, and part of his duty that he is paid for is collecting and dispensing synagogue funds, he would be obligated to replace the lost funds with his own personal money.
		Even if the Gabbai is not getting paid for his job, if he has an understanding with the synagogue board that when necessary he may borrow synagogue funds for his personal use as long as the money is repaid when needed by the synagogue, he is still obligated to replace the lost funds personally.
		Therefore, if the Gabbai is being paid for collecting and dispensing community funds, or if he has permission to borrow community funds for his own needs if necessary - he is in the category of a Shomer Sochor (a paid watchman) who is liable for theft or loss, as is explained in the Nesivos (301:9).

		When the gabbai calls out this person’s name he is just saying, “For the sake of good order, take a turn to read now.” Even when aliyos are auctioned, whoever makes the winning bid has only put in a successful bid to be honored, which falls short of “owning” the aliyah.
		If the person who was really called by the gabbai answered “omein” to the snatcher’s blessing, he would not be entitled to compensation even if he did own the aliyah.

		A contemporary anthropological study of synagogue dynamics focuses on the gabbai's role as a power-broker within the community: "The gabbai, as keeper and dispenser of kibbudim [honorific tasks], thus handles what is perhaps one of the group's most essential properties.
