“Shmoel how about a translation so we can all answer the question.”
Siz shver tzu tzein ah Yide = It’s hard to be a Yid.
And….FALSE!! It’s a challenge sometimes, but not “shver”. And the difference is that “shver” has a negative connotation, it’s associated with hard in the burdensome, painful sense.
A “challenge”, however, is usually more of a pleasurable engagement even though it isn’t necessarily easy.
