Sitting in front of the Bimah

Hi,

A synagogue should not have any seats between the bimah and the Aron Kodesh [Ark], if that would cause people to sit facing the bimah and with their backs to the Aron Kodesh. On the other hand, people may sit with their backs to the bimah, facing the Aron Kodesh.

(Mishneh Berurah 150:14)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
