I don't understand the whole "baavur shemispelelim baadam".  I've heard
it in various shuls, but it makes no sense to me.  "Baavur" is meant to
give Hashem, kiveyachol, a reason to do as we ask; we ask that our
request be fulfilled in the merit of tzedaka that we've pledged, or
some other mitzvah that we've done or will do.  But what are we saying
here? "Please do this in the merit of the fact that we asked You"?
