Rav Dimi from Nahardea was fourth generation Babylonian Amora mentioned a few times throughout the Talmud. He was known as one of the “Nechusai”, rabbis who traveled back and forth between Babylonia and Jerusalem to transmit teachings. He was famous for his teachings regarding accompanying guests and accompanying the dead.

According to Rabbi Chaim Vital in the name of the Arizal, Rav Dimi from Naharda is buried in a cave in Ovnit along with Abaya and Rava. In recent times this cave was identified as being right below Kever Rabbi Yehuda Nesiah. Yisorel Meir Gabbai and Ohalei Tzadikim dispute the location saying this cave does not fit the description of Rabbi Chaim Vital. Instead they place these Kivarim in a cave inside the army base that was sealed up during its construction. Although the cave is inaccessible, there is a point outside the fence of the army base around 30 meters away from the entrance of the sealed cave. Best time to visit this location is Sunday mornings when the army base is relatively empty.
