I assume you mean the bimah, a raised platform in synagogue, from which the Torah is read. Its main purpose is simply to raise the person so that all those present can see and hear him or her more clearly. It is not, as some people who have never been to a synagogue service mistakenly believe, an altar such as is found in Christian churches.
