The establishment of the trail and walking on it will connect those who live here today with the atmosphere and frame of mind of that period, said Yair Amitzur, the Israel Antiquities Authoritys antiquities inspector for the Eastern Galilee, and one of the initiators of the idea.

The discovery of a lamp decorated with a menorah, a symbol of the Jewish people, is without doubt exciting, especially at a site with such a unique heritage in part of the Sanhedrin Trail.

Hikers will have access to an innovative augmented reality-based smartphone application that will virtually reconstruct heritage sites, integrate virtual guides for children along the route and bring to life prominent scholars such as the four rabbis mentioned in the Passover Haggadah.
