The term "nunei yama" is mentioned frequently in the holy Zohar as a mashal for tzaddikim of the highest level, like Rav Hamnuna Saba, one of the elder Tanaim of the Zohar. Regarding this, the Alter Rebbe explains that the movement of tzaddikim called nunei yama is wondrous and very elevated, like the mashal of fish swimming in the sea - they swim and in one flight reach higher and higher. One of these tzaddikim was the holy Tanna Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai. Therefore, when RASHBI was in the cave, he did not fulfill several practical mitzvos as mentioned above, but rather everything was spiritual, beyond the level of rejoicing with meat etc. This is the concept of the Levyasan's fins with which it swims from one end of the sea to the other. Therefore the entire world stands on the Levyasan which encompasses the whole world, as known in the words of Chazal. | The term "nunei yama" is mentioned frequently in [[Sefer HaZohar|the holy Zohar]] as a mashal for tzaddikim of the highest level, like Rav Hamnuna Saba, one of the elder Tanaim of the Zohar.
