Also good to know, in case the President needs to make a new one from scratch: How to Create a Golem from the Comfort of Home, a site full of helpful tips.

Here's a much more in-depth article on Kerry's familial background.
And just remember to practice your Alephs before inscribing your Golem. There's nothing like a Golem gone horribly wrong to wreck a weekend.
Everybody sing that Hannukah favorite, now:
"Golem, golem, golem,
I made him out of clay!
And when my golem's ready
With you he shall play!"
