'From 1785 to these days, the Papo recognized themselves through their link to Eliezer Papo, rabbi of the community of Silestra in Bulgaria, famous for writing the Pele Yoetz, a work of musar (ethical) literature which advises on how to behave as a Jew in many aspects of life.

Please note that a few branches of the Papo family lived for some decades in Ruse Bulgaria - they arrived from Sarajevo.
