Friends described her as a beautiful soul and a peacemaker who inspired others, including Amanda Birger, who mentioned Milgrim's impactful presence at Hillel that encouraged her to embrace her faith. The attack, perpetrated by Elias Rodriguez, involved a shocking ambush where he yelled anti-Israel slogans. Milgrim's dedication to her beliefs and community remains a poignant reminder of her commitment to unity in the face of hatred.

She made me want to be more Jewish, showing how someone my age could live a joyful Jewish life while also doing everything else she wanted.
