Matisyahu's Baby Girl Undergoes Successful Heart Surgery

Jewish reggae rap star Matisyahu’s infant daughter, Sasha Lil, has undergone successful heart surgery, according to Times of Israel.

While he did not release any information about the cause for the surgery, the rapper did go to Twitter asking for prayers–posting maybe the most adorable photo of the two of them together.
