Jewish is also an ethnicity. There are even specific subsets of jews that have different health issues.[1] To my understanding, Jew refers to both an ethnic group and a religion, so it can be confusing, but the ethnic group definitely can be referred to as a race (which going by most the common dictionary definitions of race generally includes geographic and ethnic grouping. I looked it up prior to my earlier comment to be sure). It is possible to be non-religious or practice another religion and be ethnically Jewish, and it's possible to be another ethnicity and convert to Judaism. 1: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_genetics_of_Jews https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_genetics_of_Jews
