What king: The new winner of 'The Next Star', Eliav Zohar, decided to set aside a tenth of his winnings on the musical reality show.
""I cried like a child, I was incredibly excited, I can't explain how much and how excited I was," he said in an interview on the program "Open and Sing with the People" on Gali Israel Radio. "I knew people liked my songs, but you know, with these things you never know, it passes on to the audience at home, so I was very surprised.".
Zohar surprised in an interview: "I decided to set aside a tithe from the winning money. A few years ago I worked at a kiosk and didn't earn large sums... So I started setting aside a tithe from my income. This is my share to God, blessed be He, for those who don't have it.".

Eliav's father, MK Miki Zohar from the Likud, responded last night immediately after the win, tweeting on his Twitter account: "Proud of you, my Eliav. You have touched an entire country.".
For winning the musical reality show, Zohar will receive one million shekels, the prize money for first place - intended to promote the winning artist's career.
