When the Bais Hamikdash stood, on Yom Kipper the kohen gadol read from the torah facing the people and on Sukos the king read from the torah facing the people, why does our Bima face the Aron? If krias hatorah mimics matan torah (Shaarei Eefraim 376,10) shouldn't we face the people not the aron? What does the Bima represent that it faces the aron and not the people? Don't say the mizba'ach then it would need to face North (right of the aron).
