My specific interest is whether a Jewish applicant would potentially be considered a URM?

No

Every college (not the individual AO) where not prohibited by law can use it’s own definition of URM. In general, URM is African-American, Native American/Native Alaskan/Native Hawaiian, Hispanic/Latinx. Some colleges might expand out to include Native Samoans or other Pacific Islanders. Some might include First Nations of Canada.
