There is Elf on a Shelf, and then there is Mensch on a Bench, a newcomer. The idea of Mensch on a Bench began when the creator, Neal Hoffman, noticed his son\u2019s keen interest in Elf on a Shelf. There wasn\u2019t anyway Elf on a Shelf would fit into Hoffman\u2019s Jewish beliefs, and since there was no other similar toy to Elf on a Shelf for Jewish families, Hoffman went to work on creating a toy that would be satisfying for not only his son, but other Jewish families as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The idea began on Kickstarter, where Hoffman garnered over $22,000 in May 2013 to support the toy\u2019s production.
This was the start of an incredible journey for Neal Hoffman. Upon accepting a partner deal with Robert Herjavec and Lori Greiner, at $150,000 for a twenty percent stake and a three-year personal guarantee of investment from Hoffman. The Mensch on a Bench line has grown rapidly since its first appearance on season six of Shark Tank<\/a>, that it had released its own clothing line in March of 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
