Jewish Renewal in Poland’s webinar Freighted Legacies will interview Igor Golyak, the director of the enormously successful play “Our Class.” The play which will be performed in San Francisco’s Z Space’s Steindler Stage, March 27 - April 5, 2026.
The play follows ten classmates—five Jewish and five Catholic—who grow up as friends in a small Polish village. Inspired by the real-life events of the 1941 Jedwabne massacre—where Polish neighbors murdered hundreds of their Jewish classmates and friends—this story traces their lives over eight decades as they turn against one another, driven by entrenched antisemitism and external forces. It is a shocking, timely, and deeply human journey. This exploration of challenging themes has become Arlekin’s signature production.
Rabbi Haim Beliak will participate in the after the play discussion at the matinee, March 29.
