Biography[edit]
Born in Romania in 1948, Salomvitz immigrated to Israel in 1950.[1] After high school she studied real estate law, and took Open University course in history of the people of Israel.[1]
She joined the Tzomet party, and chaired its Nahariya branch.[1] She headed the party in Nahariya city council, and was a member of its Absorption and Education Committee.[1] She was elected to the Knesset on the Tzomet list in 1992.[1] However, on 7 February 1994 she left the party together with Alex Goldfarb and Gonen Segev to form Yiud,[2] which joined Yitzhak Rabin's coalition government. On 27 November 1995 she and Goldfarb left Yiud to establish Atid.[2] They both lost their seats in the 1996 elections, in which the party did not participate.
After leaving politics she completed a law degree at Netanya Academic College.[3]
