Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement) is called the holiest day in the Jewish year, during which we fast and pray at great length. However, in terms of relative stringency, the weekly Shabbat has greater holiness.

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.
