Statement from Cardinal Blase J. Cupich, archbishop of Chicago, on the Murder of Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim
May 23, 2025
Wednesday night, two young Israeli Embassy staffers, Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim, were shot and killed as they were leaving an event at the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, DC. Sarah was 26. Yaron was 30. The alleged gunman, who is from Chicago, is in custody. Antisemitism appears to have been a factor in their murder. What a senseless, inconceivable tragedy for these two young people who were about to be engaged, just starting the next chapter of their lives. Please join me in praying for them, their families and loved ones. May their memories be for a blessing.
