We were talking to friends of ours recently who had to move to a neighborhood that they deemed "spiritually vampid". It's not that the people there don't learn or are uninterested in torah, they just aren't interested in the spirutality and the emotional aspects of Judaism. They go to shiurim and learn, but it is intellectual at its core.
I think they are right on target in their stance that the intellectual side of learning and Judaism isn't enough. You need that feeling and that emotion otherwise it's dry and it can get boring. Your need that fire that pushes you to keep coming back and move on to the next level.
