When then come home, they are filled with Hebrew, Ruach, Torah, and a desire to lead a observant, just, and Jewishly active life.  This makes their parents and families so uncomfortable with their own meager background, they spend the other 10 months of the year trying to grind their kids down into typical assimilated Jews (instead of growing with their kids).
