Yocheved is most well known as the mother of Moshe Rabbeinu. But she is mentioned many other times in the Torah as well - she was Shifra, the midwife who stood up to Pharaoh by saving the Jewish babies, she was the last soul to be born as Yaakov Avinu entered Egypt with his family, she was a daughter of Levi and wife of Amram, a leader of Klal Yisrael, and she was the mother of two other very great and famous children. Who was Yocheved, really? And what lessons can she teach us about how we live our lives today?
