Mesivta Tiferes Yisroel is an Orthodox yeshiva in Brooklyn, New York. It was founded in 1988 by Rabbi David Harris, Rabbi Zvi Turk, and Rabbi Yehuda Jacobson. Rabbi Zvi Turk and Rabbi Yehuda Jacobson are currently co-principals of the yeshiva. The assistant principal for religious studies is Rabbi Sender Strassfeld, and the principal for secular studies is Mr. David Schonbrun.
Beginning as a fledgling branch of Yeshiva Chofetz Chaim, it has evolved into an established yeshiva. The yeshiva is located at 1271 East 35th Street in Brooklyn, New York, where it shares a building with its elementary school, Yeshiva Tiferes Yisroel (also called Yeshiva Ketana Tiferes Yisroel).
It is primarily an American, Lithuanian-style Haredi but non-Hasidic Yeshiva focusing on Talmud study.
Although, like the majority of Chofetz Chaim branches, it is run independently, it continues to retain strong ties with its parent institution. It currently has between one hundred and fifty and two hundred students on the high school level and about sixty at the post-high school Beth midrash level. Many of the latter will continue on a rigidly determined curriculum, eventually seeking rabbinical ordination through Chofetz Chaim or through other rabbinical schools.
Mehalach (Methodology)
Like its parent institution, Yeshiva Chofetz Chaim, there are three primary characteristics of this Yeshiva's methodology of Talmud study that distinguish it from others in its genre:
Firstly, there is an emphasis upon unfolding the latent processes of reasoning within the steps of the Talmudic sugya. The methodology employed by this Yeshiva places emphasis on the notion that the initial assumptions of the Talmud must be highly rigorous, and that the movement between the initial thought process (known as the hava aminah) of the Talmudic sugya to the final thought process must be fully unfolded and understood.
Secondly, their approach to ethical and biblical texts and its commentaries emphasize a rigour that other Yeshivos of their genre generally reserve to halachic or Talmudic texts alone. The term "muchrach" is often employed when discussing what may be learned from biblical commentaries. This term means "logically and textually compelling." This approach yields a much more compelling discourse on Torah.
The third distinguishing characteristic is the emphasis placed upon propagating the ideals and values of Judaism. Students are encouraged upon completion of a rigorous term of study, to seek employment in the field of Jewish education, often launching their own educational institutions themselves or with a partner. However, rather than going into "Harbotzas Hatorah" for selfish reasons (such as the desire to remain in an environment suitable for Torah study), students are taught to act for their beneficiaries. In fact, Rav Henoch believed that one who enters this field for any other reason would be better off going into the workforce.

Aindra Dasa (1953-2010), born Edward Striker, was initiated as a disciple of A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada in 1974 receiving the name, Aindra Dasa. After initiation Striker resided within the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (commonly known as the 'Hare Krishnas' or ISKCON) for the rest of his life. Striker was considered within his society to be a talented and inspiring musician and singer of Hindu religious hymns. He was seen as a renunciate, devoted to chanting and hearing the names of Krishna in the Hare Krishna mantra.
On July 16th 2010 Aindra died in an accidental fire in his own room while living near the Hindu pilgrimage town of Vrindavan. Within the ISKCON society he is believed to have made his mark as a notable figure -- both through recordings of his singing of the Hare Krishna mantra as well as his historical position as a preacher in the early days of the movement.
Biography
Born on March 12, 1953 and growing up in Haymarket, Virginia in the 1950s and ‘60s, Eddie Striker was an artist, painting, drawing, and doing his own embroidery. But having grown up in a music oriented family his primary interest was music. When his parents separated in 1971, he moved to Chevy Chase, Maryland, where he began learning the guitar, eventually playing in some garage bands.
Discovering the very different music of Hindu devotional kirtans, Striker moved into the ISKCON temple in Washington, D.C. And soon after, in February 1974, he was initiated by ISKCON founder Srila Prabhupada, who changed his name to Aindra Dasa. Eventually he moved into the local ISKCON temple, where he became a preacher -- engaged in book distribution on the streets, speaking to interested people, and trying to spread his Krishna consciousness religious beliefs. But his interest in music and kirtan in particular was foremost in his life. After the passing of his Guru he moved to Vrindavan, U.P., in North India, where he spent his time in assisting others and chanting kirtan for many years up until his accidental death in 2010.

Etymology
Juts is an Internet slang neologism used as an English noun, based on a common typographical error of "just," specifically in electronic communication via smartphone, but also including other avenues of text input (qwerty keyboard, etc.). Refer to other neologisms, e.g., "teh."
Meaning and Origin
Juts refers to any typo in electronic communication (i.e., Social Media posts, text messages, etc.) that arises as a result of a touchscreen keyboard, auto-correct, or other unintentional text input errors. The term originates from the easy inversion or the T and S in the word "just," as in "we should juts talk more." Its usage grew out of a commenter posting underneath that Social Media status update, "What is juts?" and then, "I would like to talk about some juts."
While the comment was originally intended as a joke, the usage stuck when the original poster responded, "Juts is when the iPhone or Smartphone keyboard fails. Let's start using that every time. You know, after you post something with an error, you can say 'sorry about the juts.' There are much dumber things people type all the time, like 'pwn the lulz, n00b.' " The noun is currently part of a very small user demographic.
