The Mensch On A Bench Celebrates Official Mensch Day And Expands Its Product Lineup By Four Feet Of Puppy Cuteness

This year, the line has grown by four cuddly feet with the addition of Dreidel Dog, an adorable Dalmatian with dreidels as spots. Additionally, Moshe and his growing family have become part of a tradition that celebrates what it is to be a mensch, or a good person, during Hanukkah and all year-round. That is why Neal Hoffman, creator of the brand, has designated November 18, 2017, as the first-ever National Mensch Day (#BeAMenschDay).

"We couldn't wait to introduce Mensch Pets this year. Every family needs a four-legged friend, and Moshe's family was no exception. I hope that families and children adopt Dreidel Dog, give him a name, play dreidel with him, and then keep him out all year long for lots of cuddles," said Neal Hoffman, creator. "Also, to educate people on what it is to be a mensch and to help spread kindness, we have designated November 18 as National Mensch Day. We are encouraging everyone to think of something they can do to contribute. No matter how big or small, one's good deeds - even if it's just a simple smile or hug - will make a difference."

As in years past, Mr. Hoffman continues to work with Robert Herjavec and Lori Grenier from ABC's hit show Shark Tank, to develop award-winning products: including the 2016 Hanukkah hit, Ask Bubbe and female mensch, Hannah the Hanukkah Hero. Ask Bubbe is an interactive doll that showcases the charming wit for which Jewish Grandmothers are well-known and loved, while Hannah the Hanukkah Hero is a book and doll set about the young Hannah Maccabee who is smart, strong, and ready to defend her people. Dreidel Dog is the newest member of the family, and Moshe the Mensch's best friend. Whether it's time for Hanukkah or a "Bark Mitzvah," this cuddly, dreidel-spotted Dalmatian is the perfect gift. Children can play dreidel with their Mensch Pet by their side, and for safekeeping, place their dreidel inside the dog's secret bandana pocket.

Mr. Hoffman, a small business entrepreneur, has dedicated himself to developing meaningful, fun, and celebratory products for Jewish and interfaith families. Dreidel Dog can bring smiles throughout the year, whereas National Mensch Day is a day where everyone, regardless of their religion or beliefs, can practice what it means to be a mensch.

In addition to the arrival of Dreidel Dog, The Mensch on a Bench will be featured in the incredibly popular holiday app, Elf Yourself® by Office Depot and OfficeMax for the third year in a row. There will be another great Hanukkah dance where Moshe the Mensch celebrates Hanukkah with a street style dance-off and special music provided by the Jewish a cappella group Six13. Fans will also be able to "dance" on their desktop, in their living room, or virtually wherever they'd like to with the augmented reality (AR) technology featured in the app.
