Interfaith Alliance Condemns Horrific Killing of Israeli Embassy Staff in DC

May 22, 2025

Interfaith Alliance is appalled by the murders of two Israeli embassy staff members, Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky, outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, DC. That the killing took place during Jewish American Heritage Month at the Capital Jewish Museum, underscores how terrifying and threatening this act of antisemitic, hate-fueled violence is to the Jewish community and all of us. 

This attack comes amidst a broader context of rising antisemitism and hate. Time and again, we have seen how dehumanizing rhetoric and hateful ideologies lead to acts of violence against vulnerable communities, including religious minorities. Now is a critical time for all people of good conscience to make absolutely clear that there can never be any justification whatsoever for acts of violence and to unequivocally condemn last night’s attack. 

As a community of people of diverse faiths and beliefs, and a movement that includes many Jewish Americans, we will support our beloved partners in the Jewish community with care and concern. We refuse to allow such a horrific act to polarize, divide or isolate us, or to justify the persecution or targeting of any vulnerable community. We must recommit to the critical work of interfaith and cross-communal dialogue and solidarity.

We can and must make clear that people of diverse faith traditions and vulnerable minorities across our country can only be truly safe if all of our communities are safe. We recommit to support and protect one another and reject the scourge of antisemitism, extremism and violence.
