"What's wrong, kapara?"
"We were set upon by a swarm of angry bees on the last afternoon of the hike. We were each stung multiple times... his first reaction after we outran them was 'kapparah!' It was a few weeks before Rosh Hashanah and I told him his words were doubly appropriate."
“A kapore on the car; just so no one was hurt!" (NJY)
