Winning the contest would make Morali a representative of her country for the next year."For me it is very important to be a representative.. and because I’m Jewish I think it is such an honor to represent both my identities,” Morali said."Being a representative takes a lot of responsibility, and I’m honored to be able to inspire young people to chase and go after their dreams and to fight for them," Morali continued."Furthermore, I want to be able to show and represent the real me, highlighting that we shouldn’t be afraid to show who we really are...promoting that beauty comes from the inside, that each and every one of us can change something in the world whether it starts with little things like having a positive mindset and smiling throughout the day to make people happy, these little things will soon add up and make a big difference,” she added. “I strongly believe in the good in people and I’m glad that they do too."The final stage of the contest will take place in Germany’s Europa Park on February 24.
