Synagogue Lecterns & Sermon Stands

For synagogues, temples & Jewish community centers

A lectern for the bimah, and another for the social hall.

A synagogue needs a lectern that belongs on the bimah beside the ark, and usually a second, lighter one for the social hall, the religious school, and adult education. The pieces on this page were picked for that: solid hardwood lecterns and wide-top pulpits in a choice of stains, and folding speaker stands that store in a closet between classes.

What synagogues, temples, and Jewish community centers order most:

  • The Conquest, the Counselor, and the Senator, solid hardwood lecterns for the bimah
  • The 810W and 200W winged pulpits and the TSP-180 pedestal pulpit for a wider reading surface
  • The T-35 and T-40 portable speaker stands for the school and the hall
  • The carpeted folding lectern for a congregation that meets in rented space

Every order ships free in the lower 48. Congregation emblems are applied from a vector file. Send a purchase order or a tax-exempt certificate and we'll take it from there.

Common questions

What lectern works on a bimah?
Congregations most often order a solid hardwood lectern like the Conquest, the Counselor, or the Senator, in a choice of stains. The winged pulpits are used where the rabbi wants a wider top for a Chumash and notes.
What stains do the hardwood lecterns come in?
Each hardwood model lists its stain colors on its product page, so you can pick the one closest to your sanctuary furniture.
Do you have a portable shtender or speaker stand?
Yes. The T-15, T-30, T-35, and T-40 portable speaker stands fold for storage and work for religious school, a shiva minyan in a home, or adult education in the social hall.
Can you apply our congregation's emblem?
Yes. Send it as a vector file (.eps, .ai or .pdf) and we'll apply or engrave it on the front panel and send a proof before production.
How does a large hardwood lectern ship?
Free in the lower 48. Hardwood lecterns and pulpits arrive by freight on a pallet, fully assembled, so we confirm the synagogue's delivery address works for a freight truck before the order goes into production.
