Jewish DIR.

I've noticed that Muslims use book-holders, a rihal, for the Quran. Have Jews anything similar for their books? I've not seen such a thing, but I like the idea of a special holder for sacred lit.

Nothing official, but in the interest of practicality we have the table top holder:

And the more common lectern:

The shtender (lectern) would be for any book, useful for study or prayerbooks. This is the coolest one I've ever seen

The Torah, in its scroll form is kept in an ark/closet and is laid out on a table to be read.

Do you even know how many times I was sitting in shul thinking, "if only I had a seder plate here!" This is a dream come true.
