ברכות לא,א
אמר רבי יוחנן משום רבי שמעון בן יוחאי: אסור לאדם שימלא שחוק פיו בעולם הזה Rebbi Yochanan in the name of Rebbi Shimon Bar Jachai says a person should not fill himself up with laughter in this world, before the redemption. It says Tehilim (90,15) שַׂ֭מְּחֵנוּ כִּימ֣וֹת עִנִּיתָ֑נוּ שְׁ֝נ֗וֹת רָאִ֥ינוּ רָעָֽה we are asking Hashem, please give us days of joy against all the days we suffered.
אז ימלא שחוק פינו then all our mouths will be filled with laughter. I heard a joke.
The grandfather of my rebbi Rav Shmuel ztz’l was the Chasan Sofer who was niftar at 48 and his grandson my rebbi, was niftar at 89.
When they come alive at techiyas hamesim, they will come alive as they passed on. They will say that the young 48 year old is the grandfather
of the 89 year old, so we are going to start laughing.
it says Tehilim (126,2-3) אָ֭ז יֹאמְר֣וּ בַגּוֹיִ֑ם הִגְדִּ֥יל ה’ לַעֲשׂ֥וֹת עִם־אֵֽלֶּה
ג) הִגְדִּ֣יל ה’ לַעֲשׂ֥וֹת עִמָּ֗נוּ הָיִ֥ינוּ שְׂמֵחִֽים They will say among the goyim that if Hashem would make us great as He made them great, we would be happy. Explains the Ksav Sofer that maybe our redemption will be relative to our affliction but for the goyim that is not a redemption. So they say that it will be absolute and they will also consider it a redemption which would make them rejoice.
