I also disagree with the OP’s contention that Orthodox is the best english description – it’s not. A Torah Jew is a simple term. It means a Jew who lives wholly, to the best of his ability, according to the Torah as handed down to us from chazal, rishonim and achronim. Anything else isn’t a Torah Jew, even if they wear fabric on their heads and put strange leather boxes on their arms and heads.
