One year ago today, Yaron Lischinsky, 30, and Sarah Lynn Milgrim, 26, two staffers at the Israeli embassy in Washington, D.C., were shot and killed after attending an event at the Capitol Jewish Museum. The killer proceeded to yell ‘Free Palestine’ and was arrested.

Prosecutors have said the shooter travelled from Chicago to Washington with a handgun after researching an upcoming networking event for young Jewish professionals at the museum.

Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim had planned to get married. These were two lives that were stolen because of Jew hatred.

One year later, we honor their memory. Every one of us can play a part by investing our resources and energy in combatting hate.
