People often refer to me as “Kosher Barbie,” and I take great pride in being crowned “Miss Universe Israel Netanya 2024,” representing the beautiful city I cherish and my beloved homeland, Israel.

Winning the title of Miss Universe Netanya isn’t just about the crown; it’s about using a platform to advocate for organizations that uplift the Jewish spirit and the community.

I recall attending a gala where an American participant dubbed me “Miss Universe Netanyahu.” At first, I was puzzled, but then I realized it was a mix-up, acknowledging the compliment that showcased respect for Israel and its leaders. After all, if I’m “Miss Universe Netanyahu,” I must be doing something right in representing our beloved homeland.

Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu made history by being the first leader invited to the White House by President Trump. This invitation was not just a formal courtesy—it was like saying, “Hey, we’re friends; let’s grab some hummus and pita and talk about peace in the Middle East!” The bond between Israel and the United States has never been stronger since the attack on Israel on October 7, with Trump stating that the U.S. will ‘take over’ Gaza and making a promise to the families of hostages to help bring them home.

Reflecting on the U.S.-Israel alliance, this connection perfectly aligns with the Miss Universe crown, given that President Trump was the former owner of the Miss Universe Organization from 1996 to 2015.

Like the beauty of Miss Universe, the stunning Ivanka Trump made an extremely beautiful decision when she converted to being an Orthodox Jew.

The Trump family understands the importance of Jewish faith and values. Jared Kushner made significant contributions by negotiating the Abraham Accords, which brought peace to the Middle East.

Together, we can continue to advocate for our rights and promote a brighter future for Israel and the Jewish community.
