Editing Synagogue (section)

===Bimah (platform)===
All synagogues contain a ''[[Bema#Judaism|Bimah]]'', a large, raised, reader's platform (called {{lang|he-Latn|teḇah}} (reading dais) by Sephardim), where the Torah scroll is placed to be read. In Sephardi synagogues and traditional Ashkenazi synagogues it is also used as the prayer leader's reading desk.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/bimah|title=Encyclopedia Judaica: The Bimah|website=JewishVirtualLibrary.org|access-date=2019-10-12}}</ref>
