### sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: It is God's discipline, like a father's correction of his child. Suffering is meant to teach and to turn a person back. Interpretation: Jewish tradition calls such hardships "yissurim shel ahavah", sufferings of love. They are seen as a father's guiding hand and not as hatred.
