In brief
Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim had plans to get engaged shortly before their lives were cut short in a shooting incident in Washington.
Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky were anticipating a bright future together, having met at the Israeli Embassy in Washington D.C. in late 2023. Tragically, the couple lost their lives just days before Lischinsky had planned to propose, unbeknownst to Milgrim’s family. Milgrim’s father, Robert, expressed his high regard for Lischinsky, describing him as passionate and intelligent—a perfect match for his daughter. The young couple, aged 26 and 30 respectively, was preparing for a trip to Israel to introduce Milgrim to Lischinsky’s family. Milgrim’s mother, Nancy, had made arrangements to travel to D.C. to care for their dog in her daughter’s absence. News of the shooting broke as Robert Milgrim was about to go to bed, triggering him to reach out to authorities, seeking information that was regrettably unavailable at the time. Both families are now left grappling with the devastating loss.
