Sarah Milgrim was ‘very Jewishly involved’ in Chabad, Hillel, Birthright, Israel before shooting outside Capital Jewish Museum

JL;DR SUMMARY Sarah Milgrim, a passionate advocate for Jewish life and Israeli-Palestinian dialogue, was tragically killed in a shooting outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C. Raised in a suburb of Kansas City, she was deeply involved in Jewish activities at the University of Kansas, participating in Chabad, Hillel, and Birthright trips.

Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from. But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
