Bema

Okay kiddo, imagine you are playing a game and there is a special place in that game where everyone goes to get their scores or rewards. We call this special place the bema.

In real life, a bema is actually a raised platform or platform steps that people stand on when they are talking or performing in front of a crowd. It's like a mini stage.

This platform is important because it makes the person standing on it more visible to the audience and easier to hear. In ancient times, it was often used in courtrooms for judges to stand on to make important decisions.

In some religious traditions, the bema is the platform where the rabbi or priest stands to read from holy books and give messages to their followers.

So, to summarize, a bema is like a special platform where important people stand to talk or perform in front of a crowd. It's not just any ordinary stage, but one with special meaning and significance.
