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 stained to match existing sanctuary furniture, 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 stained to match 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 Soundcraft folding lectern for a congregation that meets in rented space

Every order ships free in the lower 48. Send a photo of your bimah furniture and we'll match the stain, with a proof before the piece is finished. 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, stained to match the ark and the reading table. The winged pulpits are used where the rabbi wants a wider top for a Chumash and notes.
Can the stain match our existing bimah furniture?
Yes. Send a photo of the ark or the reading table and we'll match the stain on the hardwood models. You approve a proof before the piece is finished.
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 to the shop.
