For the mascot of the Israel national baseball team, see Israel at the World Baseball Classic § Mascot: Mensch on the Bench.

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]
