For colleges that use URM considerations, the group considered is usually African Americans, Hispanic Americans, and Native Americans. Many also consider women as URM’s for engineering. Those applying as internationals usually do not get URM treatment. Some colleges may apply it to others as noted above and some officially do not apply it (but use other methods such as considering economic differences). I am not aware of any college that considers Jews as URM.
