I am not sure what you man by a Jewish candle; Jews use the same parafin candles that non-Jews use. If you would like to know when Jews burn candles, there are two major ritutal uses for candles in Judaism: a candle is lit for the Sabbath on Friday at sundown, and a series of candles are lit for the menorah during Hanukkah.

Candles are lit during the eight evenings of Hanukkah, and before the onset of the Sabbath and holy days.
