Narrative:
We were proceeding to teb via the jaike 2 STAR. New york approach advised us that teb was using the ILS 19 and the GS was out of service. The first officer was the pilot flying in the left set. I was captain (pilot in command) and pilot not flying in the right seat. The first officer briefed the approach including the missed approach procedure while I monitored the aircraft. As we were being vectored; approach informed us that the last aircraft had picked up the airport 'right at minimums.' we intercepted the localizer and configured according to our standard profile for a non-precision approach. After passing the FAF; I set the altitude alerter to 600 ft MSL; which is 20 ft above the MDA for the approach. Upon reaching MDA; tower advised us that we had triggered a low altitude alert and re-issued the altimeter setting. I verified that we were on course and inside of the FAF and that the altimeter was set correctly -- the updated altimeter setting had increased .03 inches hg from the ATIS. I also looked at our GPWS display and verified that there was no terrain displayed on our flight path. I attribute the low altitude alert to the fact that we used a higher descent rate than a typical ILS approach so that we would be at MDA prior to the missed approach. I suspect that we went below the ILS glide path; which triggered the alert. At the missed approach; the first officer and I could see parts of the airport; but the runway was obscured; so we executed the missed approach. The first officer pushed the go-around button; pitched up and went to takeoff thrust. He did not call for 'flaps 8 degrees;' so I queried him. He called 'flaps 8 degrees' which I selected. I called 'positive rate' and he called 'gear up' which I selected. I called tower with 'missed approach' and he was handed off to approach. I noticed that the first officer's flight director was in go around and roll mode; so I selected FMS then navigation so that he could fly the published missed approach procedure. I then called approach with a
