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

On Wednesday evening, two staff members of the Israeli Embassy in the nation’s capital were shot and killed Wednesday evening while leaving an event at a Jewish museum.The American Jewish Committee confirmed that the two homicide victims were Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky.

The victim's father revealed how he found out his daughter and her boyfriend had been killed outside of the Capital Jewish Museum.

But the interwoven lives of Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim were brutally cut short Wednesday evening, when the two Israeli Embassy staffers were shot while leaving a reception for young diplomats at the Capital Jewish Museum.

A solemn vigil was held outside the White House to remember Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky, the young couple who worked together at the Israeli embassy in Washington and were fatally shot after an event at the Capital Jewish Museum.
