The program is modular and can be customized to meet group needs; the options are a single-day event, a series of sessions, or a continuous program spanning twelve sessions. 

The Hannaton Educational Center also offers the Crossing the Galilee program within Beit Midrash Galil (CTG). CTG consists of ten consecutive days hiking the 70 km-long Sanhedrin Trail. 

Crossing the Galilee asks participants to delve deep and they are rewarded with a vibrant dialogue that encourages an understanding of our personal, social, and national identities.

Participants wade through the sources, listening to broad perspectives on the trail. Each program day is themed to match the sites you see that day and includes group study, site tours, on-site learning, and inspirational personalities.

CTG starts at Beit She'arim and ends in Tiberias, in nine days of walking, 10-15 km a day, along with a Shabbat in Hannaton.

Participants need to wear suitable walking shoes, carry min. three liters of water, and bring enough food for a day. Physical fitness and health are required for these hikes.
