The Dome of the Rock Shrine does not relate to Judaism. It relates to Islam.

Is yiddish the holiest day in judaism?

No. Yiddish is a language. Yiddish is spoken primarily by Eastern European Jews. The language is a hybrid of German, Polish, Russian, Ukrainian, and Hebrew. Concerning what is the holiest day in Judaism is, Jews disagree. There is the stance that every Shabbat (every Saturday) is the holiest day in Judaism. There is also the approach that Yom Kippur (a holiday that occurs sometime from mid-September to mid-October) is the holiest day of the year because of the capacity that Jews have on that day to atone for their sins before the Lord. Each of these two opinions has its merit and supporting arguments and each is true in a sense.
