The Pele Yoetz (Hebrew: פלא יועץ)[1] is a book of Musar literature (ethics in Rabbinic Judaism) first published in Constantinople in 1824 by Eliezer Papo.[2] The work is a "classical moral treatise", and compilation of essential Jewish concepts, organized with its topics following the order of the Hebrew alphabet. It is written in a style that "speaks to the heart as well as the mind".[1]

The Musar that it presents is not limited to abstract ethical precepts and esoteric concepts; rather it encompasses all aspects and phases of day-to-day Jewish living: the ritual as well as the ethical, the mundane as well as the sublime. [1] It also offers advice on human interrelationships such as between parent and child, husband and wife, employer and employee.
