The Mensch on a Bench explained
The Mensch on a Bench is a Hanukkah-themed book and doll set created in 2012 by Neal Hoffman, inspired by a joke he had made about the 2005 book and doll The Elf on the Shelf.[1] In 2013 the crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter for the marketing of the product started. The doll has appeared on Shark Tank, The Today Show, and The View.[2]
The toy and book are sold together as a package, and the book relates a version of the story of Hanukkah.[3] [4]
