Synagogue interior design

Hi,

We have been discussing synagogue construction.

The bimah of the synagogue, where the Torah is read, should be in the middle of the sanctuary. As I have been taught, this is to parallel the mizbeiach (altar) from the Beit haMikdash.

(Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim 150:5)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
