For some reason a journal I am submitting a paper to sent back my manuscript because I need to add a "title page." My understanding is I'm supposed to submit said "manuscript" in .tex format using their birkjour class so needless to say I'm at a loss to figure out exactly how to add the title page without ruining the subsequent formatting.

The problem I have is if I use newpage, then for some reason the subsequent pages are all shifted down by about 3 inches. The code is below:

documentclass{birkjour}

usepackage{amssymb,latexsym,mathtools}

%usepackage[margin=1.25in]{geometry}

usepackage{mathrsfs}

usepackage{mathtools}

usepackage{graphicx}

usepackage{esint}

usepackage{braket}

usepackage{url, hyperref}

Notice how on page 3, there's a huge swatch of entirely unnecessary vertical space that wouldn't be there if it weren't for the newpage.

If newpage doesn't work with birkjour, is there an alternative?

If you download birkjour.zip from
https://www.springer.com/birkhauser/mathematics/download?SGWID=0-40465-0-0-0

the download includes a PDF describing how to use it.

In your example you are doing most of the right things, but in the wrong order.
