Not sure if this is a Sephardic custom but on High holidays our shul always does an auction for various brachas on High holidays. My husband’s grandma is very sick and I accidentally found out from my FIL that he donated $1000 during this auction. I’m a bal teahuvah and did not grow up with this custom so was pretty shocked to hear this. Is it normal for a spouse to make these types of pledges/donations without discussing with his spouse first? My husband was mad at me and expected me to be joyful and proud of him for doing this, but I felt shocked and betrayed instead. Not sure how to feel now.
For some context, we’re on a single income (mine) and while we’re comfortable we try to be more conscious about our spending.
