Source of sage rulings
Last time I asked you a question and you wrote that it was incomprehensible, so I will try to explain. The law of the muktaza and the law of the eruvin are renewed laws “invented” by the sages. In the 63 tractates that we have, there is Torah knowledge. There must be a divine source for this knowledge, so in the Torah’s laws and commandments, the source of the knowledge that emanates from them and the depth in which they are is from the Torah itself. But a renewed law like the muktaza or washing of hands, where did the sages derive the wisdom and knowledge and the halachic and conceptual depth to renew them if they are “not found in the Torah itself”?

Does His Holiness the Rabbi believe that there is no conceptual depth in those additions to the Torah?
Were they allowed to add even when there was no depth or benefit in it?
Obviously there is a benefit to this. But there are simple benefits that do not require special depth. For example, they added the prohibition of chicken in milk as a decree prohibiting meat in milk. Is there any special depth to this? Not necessarily. It simply seemed necessary to them, so they decreed it.
By and large, yes.
Yes, of course.
