Congregation Shalom Bayit, originally incorporated as JCCO (Jewish Community of Central Oregon) is one of the earliest Jewish communities here in Central Oregon, dating back to 1993. Our founders built a meaningful Jewish community in a city with virtually no history of Jewish life and where nearly everyone is a transplant. Our people are down to earth and have solid values regarding their personal and communal lives. Shalom Bayit’s story is about the power and possibilities of a community now being connected to an international movement that shares its commitment to pluralism and creative religious expression, Reconstructing Judaism..

We have always been an inclusive and participatory Jewish community that honors the diversity of our Jewish heritage, linking modern life to the ancient traditions of our people by providing opportunities for Jewish education, spiritual growth, and worship in Central Oregon.

A seasoned entrepreneur, Allison instinctively finds creative solutions for what she sees missing in the world around her. She is a certified personal and wellness life coach specializing in resistance and resilience. Having learned the ropes in her twenties of creating and running a business from the ground up, Allison opened her second business a decade later, offering a blend of business consulting and personal coaching. All the while, Allison pursued her passion for music by producing and hosting a syndicated program from public radio with broadcasts in California, Oregon, Idaho, and Montana for nine years. Allison lives in Bend with her husband, daughter, two dogs, flower and vegetable gardens. When she is not spending time with her family, skiing, and learning to fly fish, you can find her outside in the dirt.

I am an entrepreneur, an outside consultant and more recently, a restaurateur. I offer to help people, those who make up the body of any company, mine or others, to discover & express that company's unique brand & voice. And, in doing so, I help people discover their values, as well as the systems & processes that make those values come to life. During collaborations with companies ranging from start-ups to industry leaders such as Microsoft, AT&T, and TBS, I have enjoyed the relationships built and the feedback that ensues. My businesses are nimble, malleable, tangible, and personal, and because of my relationships, my community thrives. In my community we believe, therefore we can, and we do. On a more personal level, I am a daddy, a friend, a listener and an advocate for those in need. I am an ideator, an artist, a communicator, a potater, and a traveling recreationalist. I wear many hats like Mr. Spats, and I love, because that's what I am here for!
