חדש מן התורה ONLY means one thing, which is kemach yoshon. Don’t ever take it out of context. Just because the C’S came up with a clever interpretation does not make it halacha. If it were then we’d not allow IVF, for example. The point of Halacha IS to deal with the new. Otherwise why do I need rabbis? Just to regurgitate what I could’ve been looked up myself? And if you think there’s no Chodosh, you’re dreaming. Yiddishkeit is constantly expanding. Yes, same framework, but expanding.
