American Jewish Committee (AJC) and Jews around the world have been left completely shaken by events in Washington, D.C. on May 21, where two members of the Israeli diplomatic community—Sarah Milgrim z”l and Yaron Lischinsky z”l, cherished friends of AJC—were shot and killed after leaving an AJC gathering for young professionals. In this moment of profound sorrow, we unite in grief, reflection, and solidarity—holding one another close as Shabbat approaches, and standing together in strength and resilience.
