Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim, who worked for the Israeli Embassy, were identified as the victims of a shooting outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C.

Yoni Kalim was at the American Jewish Committee event on Wednesday night at the Capital Jewish Museum and spent time with Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim before they were tragically gunned down.

Lischinsky and his girlfriend Sarah Milgrim were shot dead in Washington on Wednesday night, in an antisemitic attack that's left the Jewish community in shock.

The image of a happy couple projected on a screen at the Jewish Community Campus Thursday night was one people around the world have seen, but it felt painfully close for those who sat in the social hall.

Slain staffer Yaron Lischinsky had purchased an engagement ring and was planning to propose to his colleague Sarah Milgrim.

WASHINGTON — As D.C. continues to grapple with Wednesday night’s violent shooting that left a couple dead in front of the Capital Jewish Museum, a memorial for the two Israeli Embassy staffers killed has been growing since the shooting.

Several Jewish organizations and Chicago officials held a press conference Friday to condemn the fatal shooting of Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim, Israeli Embassy staffers, on Wednesday night as they were leaving an event at a Jewish museum.

Lischinsky, a 30-year-old Israeli citizen, had deep ties to his country’s Messianic Jewish community.
