Tzafira, who was a favorite of the audience throughout the competition, was unanimously chosen and approved of by the panel of judges comprised of producers, industry and media professionals. However, Tzafira had just begun on the path to frumkeit and at the last minute, after being offered a contract, backed out of the competition.
