ALBANY–Sally DeLaney Goldberg, a retired Albany Public Schools special education teacher and self-published author, will speak about her memoir, 457 Franklin Street: Baby Boom Years, Growing Up DeLaney, at the Temple Israel Men’s Club breakfast on Sunday, Oct. 18, at 9:30 a.m. Temple Israel is located at 600 New Scotland Ave.

The book looks back on her family life in Elmira, where Goldberg grew up as one of 10 children in an Irish Catholic family. It draws on family history and childhood friendships. Her story also tells of her later conversion to Judaism under Rabbi Paul Silton (at that time of Temple Israel), and the beginning of her connection to Temple Israel and Albany’s Jewish community.

Goldberg also taught at the B’Yachad Religious School, where she supported children with special needs and created curriculum around values-based lessons.

She is the author of the children’s books Magnetamo the Magnetic Menace, A Mighty Dog, Can You Spell This? and The Magical Mitzvah Note.

Goldberg is married to Paul Goldberg, a retired Albany police detective. They are the parents of Matt, Lisa and Abby. Their daughter Abby is married to Rabbi Evan Ravski of Synagogue Emanu-El in Charleston, S.C.

Books will be available for purchase at the talk.

The cost is $5 for Temple Israel members and $10 for non-member adults. Children under 12 are free for members, and $5 for non-member children.

Those planning to attend are asked to make reservations by Wednesday, Oct. 14. Information and reservations for the program may be obtained at www.tialbany.org. Information about Sally DeLaney Goldberg may be obtained at www.sdgauthor.com.
