Yaron Lischinsky was preparing to propose to his girlfriend Sarah Milgrim. He had just bought an engagement ring, and planned to ask on a trip to Jerusalem next week.
But on Wednesday night in Washington, they were shot dead by a man who shouted "free Palestine" outside the Capital Jewish Museum as they left an event billed by organisers as a discussion of the Gaza crisis that aimed to "turn pain into purpose".
Their deaths have shocked colleagues at the Israeli embassy, sparked international outrage and prompted Israeli leaders to blame "rising hostility" and antisemitism after Hamas attacked the country on 7 October, 2023.
The ambassador in Washington Yechiel Leiter, paid tribute to the pair as a "beautiful couple".
They were "to be engaged", he said. "The young man purchased a ring this week with the intention of proposing to his girlfriend next week in Jerusalem."
Mr Lischinsky, 28, worked in the embassy's political department while Ms Milgrim, 26, had been a part of the public diplomacy department for a year and a half.
He was a German-born Israeli citizen, served three years in the Israel Defence Forces and held a master's degree in government diplomacy and strategy from Reichman University.
He described himself on LinkedIn as "proud to call both Jerusalem and Nuremberg home" and as a wanting to "expand the circle of peace with our Arab neighbour".
Friends told the BBC that Mr Lischinsky was a Christian with great belief in Israel.
...
Ronen Shoval, another friend described him as "a very devout Christian" who had moved to Israel from Germany. Many people wanted to understand his background. He was a serious Christian believer."

Thank you very much and God bless you.
A Christian and a Jew, cut down in the prime of life by a ignorant pawn of evil Islam.
Pam Bondi is on Fox right now talking about this horrible crime. I like her but she talks too much publicly.
...totally agree....when will we see her on Fox talking about the just-released (yeah, sure....) Epstein tapes or whatever they are hiding...jus’ askin’ ......
That’s right. She was out on the street in front of the museum 12 or so hours after the crime. She said nothing of value and looked like hell as if she was there all night. What a waste.
I’d like to see less talk and more action from Pam.
I assume he was Jewish and converted to Christianity.
Every person I’ve met like that is very serious Christian, as there is a lot of family blowback (just like there is in reverse, I suppose).
That’s right. All she does is repeat the same theme. She has no business being at a crime scene 12-14 hours after the crime. She looked worn out and like hell. I’m losing confidence in her.
I assume so. I don't think it's easy for foreign born gentiles to become Israeli citizens.
A Christian Brother and Sister, cut down by a leftist thug!
May their Memory be Eternal! Lord have Mercy!
I’m losing confidence in her.

If Pam is eventually led out to pasture, I am liking Alina Habba if PDJT needs a woman in that role. Alina tends to walk the talk, in that order.

I agree totally. I’d go for a switch right now.
I’m the only Messianic Jew in my gamily.
