WASHINGTON – U.S. Senators Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) and Roger Marshall, M.D. (R-Kan.) introduced a resolution to honor the life of Sarah Milgrim, an Overland Park native, and her soon-to-be-fiancé, Yaron Lischinsky, who were brutally murdered outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C., on May 21, 2025.

“The loss of Kansan Sarah Milgrim and her soon-to-be fiancé, Yaron Lischinsky, to a sickening act of antisemitic violence is a tragedy that should never have happened,” said Sen. Moran. “This violence and hatred must end. I join Kansans and the Jewish community in mourning the loss of these two young people, honoring their memories and reaffirming my unwavering support for all our Jewish friends and neighbors.”

“At just 26 years old, Sarah Milgrim’s impact on our country and her community was profound,” said Sen. Marshall. “An Overland Park native, she was a talented musician and chorus singer, deeply devoted to her faith, exceptionally intelligent, and selflessly committed to the well-being of others. Sarah and her soon-to-be fiancé, Yaron Lischinsky, were victims of an unspeakable murder in Washington, DC. While we can never remove the pain of this loss, I hope that this resolution stands as a lasting tribute to Sarah’s remarkable life, her enduring legacy, and the light she brought to all who knew her.”
