I know of no scholar who is knowleadgable about Middle High German who thinks that there is a "strong Jewish coloring" to the language of Dukus Horant. The majority position at least post 1960 seems to be there is no discernible Jewish coloring at all, apart from the script. It can be said to be Protoyiddish only in the sense that this was an early version of the German, and the Hebrew orthography, from which later Yiddish developed (although not linearly).
Please provide a strong reference for your thesis, otherwise I will edit the page to reflect what I see as the current scholarly consensus.
