Two details of Nahman ben Jacob's life cast light on his position at the court of the exilarch: he received the two scholars Rav Chisda and Rabba b. Huna, who had come to pay their respects to the exilarch ( Sukkah 10b ); and when the exilarch was building a new house he asked Nahman to take charge of the placing of the mezuzah according to the Law 33a.

Rav loved the Book of Ecclesiasticus ( Sirach ), and warned his disciple Hamnuna against unjustifiable asceticism by quoting advice contained therein — that, considering the transitoriness of human life ( Eruvin 54a ), one should not despise the good things of this world.

He among others fully institutionlized the teaching of Mishnah and Talmud to girls, from an autobiography on him by Rabbi Mayor Twersky called " A Glimpse of the Rav " in R. Menachem Genack ed., Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik: Man of Halacha, Man of Faith, page 113:
