The meaning of suffering in Judaism is to keep the Jewish people on the right path. It is to make sure God's will is the one being followed instead of the will of the people. The suffering of the Jewish people in the Bible and in the stories teaches them to be faithful in times of doubt, and those who do will be rewarded.
