Mesivtha Tifereth Jerusalem (MTJ) (Hebrew: מתיבתא תפארת ירושלים, Mesivta Tiferet Yerushaláyim) is a yeshiva in the Lower East Side of New York City.

The yeshiva was originally organized in 1905 as a synagogue, known as Congregation Tifereth Jerusalem, at 115 Hester Street in the Lower East Side neighborhood of New York City.

[1][3] The congregation hired Yehuda Sachs Wolpert to administer the institution as he previously served as Rabbi in Libau, part of the Zamut region of Lithuania.

[4] In June 1922, the new MTJ building had its grand opening marked by a parade and attendance by leading rabbis in New York along with media coverage in The Hebrew Standard and the Jewish Morning Journal.

[7][8] Michel Barenbaum became the mashgiach ruchani (student supervisor) in the late 1940s (he died on March 4, 2003).
