Speaker Johnson And Leader Jeffries Host House Memorial Vigil For Sarah Milgrim And Yaron Lischinsky

WASHINGTON, DC - JUNE 10: House Minority Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) speaks "Make difficult demands and Moses cries out to God for help. God then instructs Moses to appoint 70 elders to help shoulder the burden of leadership. The Torah portion teaches us that moments of challenge requires more of us to step forward and lead together. In that spirit, we stand here with the families of Sarah and Yaron and stand with the Jewish community. We will not let you shoulder this burden alone" as Speaker of the House Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) and members of Congress listen during a memorial vigil hosted by Johnson and House Minority Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) outside of the U.S. Capitol on June 10, 2025 in Washington, DC. The vigil was held for two Israeli embassy staff members, Yaron Lischinsky, 30, and Sarah Lynn Milgrim, 26, who were shot and killed as they left the Lillian and Albert Small Capital Jewish Museum on May 21.
