Israeli Embassy staffers Yaron Lischinsky, 30, and Sarah Milgrim, 26, were killed outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C., on May 21. The couple were shot by a gunman as they were leaving an American Jewish Committee Young Diplomats reception that took place at the museum.

Lischinsky and Milgrim were dating, and mere days before their deaths, Lischinsky had purchased an engagement ring that he had planned on proposing to Milgrim with. The couple intended to visit Lischinsky’s family in Israel for Shavuot in June.

The tragedy has sent shockwaves through the D.C. Jewish community, with Jewish officials and community organizations across the country calling for increased security measures at religious and cultural institutions.
