In a somber ceremony held in Beit Zayit, Israel, Yaron Lischinsky, 30, was buried on Sunday, just days after he and his partner were tragically killed. Lischinsky had planned a joyful visit to Israel to introduce his partner, Sarah Milgrim, 26, to his family and propose to her. Instead, they found themselves victims of gun violence on Wednesday night as they left a gathering hosted by the American Jewish Committee outside the Capital Jewish Museum.
