Yuval Raphael

Imagine a star shining super bright! That's Yuval Raphael. She's a singer and songwriter from Israel, born on November 5, 2000. She loves making music and sharing it with everyone. Think of her like your favorite pop star, but she's also a real person who writes her own songs!

Yuval entered a really big singing competition called HaKokhav HaBa. It's like a talent show where people sing their hearts out to win. Yuval was so amazing that she won the whole thing! Winning meant she got to do something even bigger and more exciting for her country.

Because Yuval won the big show, she got to represent Israel in the Eurovision Song Contest! This is a giant music party where countries from all over Europe sing. Yuval sang a song called 'New Day Will Rise.' She did SO well, she came in second place, which is like being the runner-up in a super-duper race!

Yuval's song, 'New Day Will Rise,' is all about feeling hopeful and looking forward to good things. It's like singing about a sunny day after a rainy one. She even won the 'televote,' which means lots and lots of people watching at home voted for her. That's a huge compliment!
