Jews use a braided candle for havdala, a service that marks the end of the Sabbath and heralds the beginning of the work week.
The braided candle (or two candles held together) is important because two or more wicks are required in order to match the words of the blessing, "Who creates the illuminations of fire" - i.e., the various types of manmade light that we utilize during the week.
