The Almighty prohibits adding to or removing form the 613 everlasting commandments contained in the Torah [Guidance / Instruction / "Law") given to Moses. This refers to the Biblical books of Genesis - Deuteronomy. This video touches on the question of whether the "Oral Law" of "Rabbinic Judaism" violates this Biblical probition, or whether do the instructions of the prophets, also.
Religion is a bunch of systematic superstitious beliefs that people created out of their own minds. Religions manipulate people's mind and people are mentally enslaved by them. Religion is the opium for the masses and the only way to free humans from religious oppression is to destroy this mental opium.

@ipwnnewbs50, The rulings today are based off the rulings over 2000yrs ago. The Mishna are such rulings... that the Talmud, Mishne Torah, and Shulhan Arukh (other Jewish sources) has its foundation. I hope this quells your confusions...

@BornInTzyon, Consider this, it would not be the first time that there was a necessary adaptation on how the Torah was observed. One would be a fool to argue that Jews of the first temple period observed Torah exactly the same way of the Jews during the Mishkan period in Moshe Rabbenu’s time, and the same is true about the first temple period vs the second temple period. In the days of Moshiah ben Dawid, and Torah will still be observed but a little differently than all prior generations. Shalom

@BornInTzyon, The siting of the new moon required a Kenesset Gadolah/Sanhedrin... Since there exist no Sanhedrin, we must in the meantime follow the ruling of Sanhedrin, which faced the extinction of Jewish culture and Torah practice was threatened at every hand, and included the Romans who forbade the use of the Lunar calendar used by Jews at that particular time. Hillel II, having the Hebrew months, as it was re-calculated so that the festivals would fall on its appropriate times today.

I have a question...I've heard that the orthodox living in Yisrael don't follow the instruction given by G-d for reckoning new months etc...rather they use the rabbinic calendar of diaspora Jews despite the fact that it's not according to Torah. Is this true?

So would the extra day of Yom Tov in deaspora be considered a temporary ruling by the supreme court of Israel?

Moses was not Jewish.
The Levitical priesthood was not Jewish.
The court they set up was not Jewish.
Judaism arose after the Babylonian exile, a thousand years later.
There was no Oral Law in the days of Moses.
So don't look to the books of Moses to try support the Oral traditions that Jesus cursed.
Ye by your traditions have made the law of God of none effect, teaching for doctrine the commandments of men.
