I like this parable!
One young Jew comes to another old Jew and talks:
- Rebe, I have so much problems, so much!
I cannot manage them! What should I do, Rebe?
- Moisa, God gives problems exactly as much as a man is able to overcome.
So either you CAN resolve the issues or they are NOT YOUR issues.

I like this parable!
A young Jew comes to an* older Jew and says:
- Rebe**, I have so many*** problems, so many!
I cannot manage**** them! What should I do, Rebe?
- Moisa, God gives exactly as many problems***** as a man is able to overcome.
So either you CAN resolve the issues or they are NOT YOUR issues.
(*=You would only use "another" if the second person was the same kind as the first - if they were both old or both young. You could get away with it if you made the age incidental - "A young Jew comes to another, older Jew" but that is not very idiomatic
**=I'm not sure if this is a name or if you mean "Rabbi"?
***= If you can count them use "many". If you can't, use "much"
****=This is good english but not very idiomatic. It might be better to say "I can't cope with them" or "I can't deal with them".
*****=or perhaps "As much trouble...")

Maybe when we fully understand our problems we can find our answers and some ways to solve them.
