在華盛頓首都猶太博物館外，以色列大使館工作人員Yaron Lischinsky購買了一枚他打算給女友和同事Sarah Milgrim的訂婚戒指，就在華盛頓首都猶太博物館外的槍聲縮短了幾天。

Just days before their lives were cut short by gunfire outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, Israeli Embassy staffer Yaron Lischinsky had purchased an engagement ring that he intended to give to his girlfriend and colleague, Sarah Milgrim.

He never got the chance.

Lischinsky, 30, had planned to propose to Milgrim, 26, next week in Jerusalem, said the Israeli ambassador to the United States, Yechiel Leiter. Lischinsky had planned to spend the Jewish holiday of Shavuot with his family in Israel, the AJC said in a statement.

以色列駐美國大使耶奇·萊特（Yechiel Leiter）表示，現年30歲的利辛斯基（Lischinsky）計劃下週在耶路撒冷提議26歲的米爾格里姆（Milgrim）。 AJC在一份聲明中說，利辛斯基曾計劃與他的家人在以色列度過猶太人的假期。

Their deaths prompted an outpouring of grief in Israel and in Overland Park, Kansas, where Milgrim was from, according to the AJC.

根據AJC的說法，他們的死亡促使以色列和堪薩斯州歐弗蘭公園的悲傷湧入，米爾格里姆來自那裡。

Milgrim, who was Jewish, graduated from the University of Kansas in the spring of 2021 with a bachelor of arts degree in environmental studies and a minor in anthropology, the university confirmed. She earned her master’s degree in international affairs from American University.

該大學證實，米爾格里姆（Milgrim）是猶太人，於2021年春季畢業於堪薩斯大學，獲得了環境研究學士學位和人類學的未成年人學士學位。她獲得了美國大學的國際事務碩士學位。

"She was thrilled" when she got the job at the Israeli Embassy, her father, Robert Milgrim, told NBC News on Thursday. "I couldn't have been prouder."

父親羅伯特·米爾格里姆（Robert Milgrim）在以色列大使館找到工作時，“她很激動”。 “我不可能感到驕傲。”

Fighting back tears, the grieving dad said he feared his daughter and Lischinsky might be in danger when he began getting news alerts on his phone about a fatal shooting in Washington. He said that when his wife, Nancy, opened a locator app on her cellphone — and realized their daughter was at the museum — his heart sank.

悲傷的父親反擊眼淚，說他擔心自己的女兒和利辛斯基可能會在他的電話上獲得有關華盛頓致命槍擊事件的新聞警報時可能處於危險之中。他說，當他的妻子南希（Nancy）在手機上打開了一個定位應用程序時 - 意識到他們的女兒在博物館裡 - 他的心沉沒了。

"Shortly after that, the Israeli ambassador "called us on my wife's phone," he said.

他說：“此後不久，以色列大使”用我妻子的電話打電話給我們。 ”

Robert Milgrim said it was Leiter who told them Lischinsky had bought the ring and was planning the pop the question.

羅伯特·米爾格里姆（Robert Milgrim）說，是萊特（Leiter）告訴他們利辛斯基（Lischinsky）購買了戒指，併計劃了流行問題。

"Best of times, worst of times," he said.

他說：“最好的時間，最糟糕的時期。”

Earlier, the AJC called Milgrim "warm and compassionate, committed to peacebuilding and passionate about sustainability and people-to-people relations."

早些時候，AJC稱Milgrim“熱情而富有同情心，致力於建設和平，並對可持續性和人與人之間的關係充滿熱情。”

A budding diplomat, Milgrim was also "a beloved member of the AJC-Mimouna Michael Sachs Fellowship for Emerging Leaders community, where she joined other American, Israeli, French, and Moroccan leaders focused on advancing relations in the Middle East and North Africa," according to the AJC.

AJC表示，一位嶄露頭角的外交官米爾格里姆（Milgrim）也是“為新興領導人社區的AJC-Mimouna邁克爾·薩克斯（Michael Sachs）獎學金的摯愛成員，在那裡她加入了其他美國，以色列，法國和摩洛哥領導人，專注於在中東和北非的關係中促進關係。”

Aaron Kaplowitz, president of the United States-Israel Business Alliance, said he met Milgrim on a trip to Morocco in September.

美國 - 以色列商業聯盟主席亞倫·卡普洛維茨（Aaron Kaplowitz）說，他在9月與摩洛哥見面。

"Bringing people together, especially Jews and Muslims, was something very important to her," he said. "I think it spoke a lot to her values."

他說：“將人們聚集在一起，尤其是猶太人和穆斯林對她來說非常重要。” “我認為這對她的價值觀說了很多。”

Lischinsky held a German passport, a German diplomatic source confirmed to NBC News. On his LinkedIn page, he wrote that he was 16 when he emigrated from the German city of Nuremberg to Israel. He was a 2021 graduate of Hebrew University, having earned a bachelor’s degree in international relations and Asian studies.

德國外交消息人士向NBC新聞證實，利辛斯基拿著德國護照。在他的LinkedIn頁面上，他寫道，當他從德國城市紐倫堡移民到以色列時，他只有16歲。他曾2021年畢業於希伯來大學，曾獲得國際關係和亞洲研究學士學位。

Ron Prosor, Israel’s ambassador to Germany, wrote on X that Lischinsky was Christian. The New York Times reported he was the son of a Jewish father and a Christian mother.

以色列駐德國大使羅恩·普羅森（Ron Prosor）在X上寫道，利辛斯基是基督徒。 《紐約時報》報導說他是猶太父親和基督教母親的兒子。

“He was a Christian, a true lover of Israel, served in the IDF, and chose to dedicate his life to the State of Israel and the Zionist cause,” Prosor posted. “He embodied the Judeo-Christian values and set an example for young people worldwide.”

Prosor說：“他是基督徒，是以色列的真正愛好者，在IDF任職，並選擇將自己的生命獻給以色列國和猶太復國主義事業。” “他體現了猶太基督教價值觀，並為全球年輕人樹立了榜樣。”

Lischinsky was a member of the embassy's political department and focused on Middle East issues, according to the AJC.

根據AJC的說法，利辛斯基是大使館政治部的成員，專注於中東問題。

"Yaron always had a smile on his face and a welcoming presence," its statement added.

其聲明補充說：“ Yaron總是笑容露出笑容和熱情的存在。”

Meanwhile, police continued to question shooting suspect Elias Rodriguez, a Chicagoan who was heard yelling "Free, free Palestine" after he was arrested.

同時，警方繼續質疑駕駛嫌疑人埃里亞斯·羅德里格斯（Elias Rodriguez），他被捕後聽到“自由，自由巴勒斯坦”大喊大叫。

“The couple that was gunned down tonight in the name of ‘Free Palestine’ is a young couple about to be engaged,” Leiter said at a late-night news conference. “The young man purchased a ring this week with the intention of proposing to his girlfriend next week in Jerusalem.”

萊特在深夜新聞發布會上說：“今晚以'自由巴勒斯坦'的名義被槍殺的夫婦是一對年輕夫婦即將訂婚。” “這位年輕人本週購買了一枚戒指，目的是下週在耶路撒冷向女友求婚。”

The couple met over a year ago when they first started working at the embassy.

一年前，這對夫婦見面，當時他們剛開始在大使館工作。

"Sarah and Yaron were stolen from us,” AJC CEO Ted Deutch said in a statement. “Moments before they were murdered, they were smiling, laughing, and enjoying an event with colleagues and friends. We are in shock and heartbroken as we attempt to process this immense tragedy.”

AJC首席執行官泰德·迪奇（Ted Deutch）在一份聲明中說：“莎拉和Yaron被我們偷走了。” “在被謀殺之前，他們在微笑，笑著，與同事和朋友一起享受活動。當我們試圖處理這場巨大的悲劇時，我們感到震驚和傷心欲絕。”
