My husband Arie worked in the Industry and he had to travel abroad with
a "state passport" and because Sternbach was not an Israeli name, they
ask us to change our family name, so we choose Sharvit, instead of
Sternbach, in 1969.

she died in 1997.
I worked as architect in a Building Company, as mentor in a Technical
College. In 1990 when I began my study MSc in Architecture and Town
Planning from the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology. I
was mentor in the Faculty of Architecture, until I retired.

My daughter Irit Sharvit made her military service in Zahal, the
Israeli Army, as Officer at the Navy. After the military service Irit
traveled in the Far East - to Thailand, Nepal, India, Japan, South
America - Guatemala, Colombia and North America.
After this long excursion Irit came back home, to Israel and decided to
study Cinema, Stage management and photography in the Katz Faculty of
the Arts, in the Tel Aviv University.
Irit specialized in documentary movies. Among the movies,
she made are also "Yael San", about an Israeli girl married to a
Japanese monk in a temple in Japan and "Tokyo Dream". Tokyo Dream is a
movie about girls which work in night clubs in Tokyo as
hostesses. Her movies have been shown on the primary TV channels
in Israel, and in museums and Cinemateks.
Irit has a son, Iarden, he was born at 12 Mai 2014.
