One year ago today, Sarah Milgrim z”l and Yaron Lischinsky z”l were murdered outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C., in an antisemitic terrorist attack.

Sarah was one of us: a beloved member of Jewish Women International’s Young Women’s Impact Network (YWIN) and a dear friend to so many. She was warm, compassionate, deeply proud of her Jewish identity, and devoted to Israel. She believed peace was built person to person, through shared rooms, common purpose, and relationships across difference.

Sarah had a full life ahead of her — work she cared deeply about, a community she loved, and a future she was building with Yaron, who was planning to propose in Jerusalem the following week.

Today, we honor Sarah’s life and legacy, remember her joyful spirit, and celebrate the light she brought into the world.

יהי זכרה ברוך
May her memory be a blessing.
