Ezra Law is accused of returning to a Houston synagogue she allegedly damaged -- the day she was scheduled to appear in court -- and yelling at kids during a children's service.

Houston woman Ezra Law is accused of vandalizing Jewish synagogue Congregation Emanu El before returning days later and yelling at children.A Houston woman is accused of vandalizing a Jewish synagogue before returning and yelling at children days later.

She allegedly was not discovered for six hours because the security system was down for maintenance, for at least a part of that time. Prosecutors said she extensively vandalized the synagogue during the break-in. Documents say she caused between $750 and $2,500 worth of damage. Then, on Jan. 21, Law allegedly broke into the synagogue again. According to the internal email, Law accessed the building through a propped open door. She reportedly entered the chapel and a children's Shabbat service. Employees immediately recognized her and called the authorities.During her court appearance Monday, several congregation members were in attendance.

Our personnel failures and the breaches in Emanu El's security over this past week are totally unacceptable, and we make no excuse for them. Over the past few days, we have learned much about the shortcomings of our security systems and the protocols that were not followed carefully during these times of crisis.
