Devastated to hear of Joe's passing; the reason for the recent living memorial through CCHM now clear. Joe was my best instructor at the College and a man after my own heart: an Organon scholar and a kind, capable clinician. An intelligent, thoughtful man who couldn't hurt a fly if he tried. We spent many hours together creating homeopathy videos (he was the 'talent') and I never stopped learning from him. May his memory be a blessing Z"L.

I am so blessed to have been taught by Dr. Kellerstein. His teachings will live on in his students who cherish his wise words not just regarding homeopathy, but life as well. I would like to share something he said at the end of our first year during a stressful period before assignments and an exam. I was so stressed, and his words brought me to tears as a release of all the pressure. His words had such a profound effect on me, I printed them and still have them beside my computer to this day. In particular times of stress, I stop and read them again. My classmates and I referenced the speed of joy many times after this to motivate each other to keep going. "The best speed to work, study, or to accomplish at, is at the speed of joy; it implies a certain comfort. You should be able to enjoy what you do as if you're sipping on fine wine. We have to take joy in our insights, discoveries, even in our problems, be reasonably critical, and just enjoy the ride because we don't know where it ends." Thank you Dr. Kellerstein, one in a million. My condolences and prayers of comfort to his wife, children and all those grieving.

Dear Shirley, I’m so sorry to hear about Joe’s passing. I learned so much from him over the years. He guided me on the path to study in Arizona and become a naturopathic doctor. He taught me physical medicine, acupuncture, herbal medicine, how to take a thorough homeopathic case, and how to choose the best remedy for a patient. Most importantly, he showed me how to care for patients in the most thoughtful and meaningful way. I spent many hours preceptoring with Joe, and I remain deeply grateful for the influence he had on how I practice medicine. His impact lives on in every patient I’ve seen. I have no doubt he will be greatly missed—by his patients, his students, his friends, and of course, by his family. May you be comforted and strengthened by your memories of him as you navigate this difficult time. With deepest sympathy, Alanna

Tears came to my eyes today hearing about Joe passing away. I met him as a teacher in 2009 at CCHM, and had since become good friends and colleagues with him over the years. He shaped my morals and values as a homeopath to this day with his strict classical teachings of homeopathy. I’ve taken what I’ve learn from this man to continue what he taught with passion and love to help others heal with homeopathy. He was a good hearted man, a great friend who would call you after hours if you had an emergency, and an amazing gift from God. I regret not having reached out to him over the last couple years, but he has left his mark on my life and am forever grateful for Joe. May God bless him and his family as he was a great man.

Dear Shirley and family, May you all be Comforted at this time of deep loss. Joe was a phenomenal human being. To me, he was a tzaddik and the best doctor ever. He was kind, punctual, uplifting, caring, and he always brought out the best in me, supporting me on the journey to trusting my own intuition. We worked together as a team, guided by his years of wisdom and my experiences of being in my body/mind. I have received a vast treasure from him and my wish is that I find ways to emulate him in my service in the world. ALL THE BEST, Joe, all the best to you as you journey on. And ALL THE BEST to you, Shirley, and to your whole family. Thank you, ShIrley for your years of service in caring for patients in the office and in all the many ways you expressed kindness and caring. May Joe's memory be for a blessing. I am sure it will!

I am so sad to hear about Joe's passing. I will always remember his kindness, wisdom and brilliance. I was lucky enough to have been his student years ago and his classes were always my favourite. He had a way with words like no other, and his passion for Homeopathy was infectious. My deepest condolences to his family.

I will never forget you Joe!!! You were such a huge part of me being a homeopath! I loved my classes with you. You taught me so much.

I am deeply saddened to learn of your passing Dr. Joe Kellerstein. I will always remember your name ❤️. When I think of you I smile and hear your laugh. I think of sulphur, 11am slump, leaning against a wall:) You were so animated with passion for homeopathy it was contagious. Thank you for your gifts, your smile and your love for teaching and learning. You are a legend! Sending love, hugs and my sincerest condolences to Shirley, Aaron, Moshe, Marty and Faye. Xo Lindsay

I remember the day I first saw you - which is not the day I first met you. Yet I was still affected and all I can say is that there was a calming, gentle, open, interesting presence and attitude surrounding you. This man, I said to myself, I can learn from. I like him, I will listen; he is a good teacher. And I was right. Everything that everyone has shared I agree with - how could I not? - they speak the truth. My life is better for having known him. Some people are a gift from Yahuah that we have the chance to share some time with; Joe was one such man. I regret most that I could not see him recently and whisper to him the thing I most wanted to share. Joe is now resting and at peace. My praying will now be for comfort and healing for his family.

So sorry to hear this sad news. Dr. Kellerstein was one of the few people who was able to help my mother through a lot of pain and uncertainty about a decade ago, maybe more. I can't even remember now. But I remember her speaking glowingly about him and I met him once or twice as I accompanied her to appointments. He was a very kind and special man who really listened to his patients from what I remember. May his memory be for a blessing.
