Braided Beeswax Havdalah Candle - 5 Wick - Jewish Ritual Candle 5-wick braided candle. Approximately 13 inches long. Traditionally used to mark the end of the Jewish sabbath, these hand-braided candles can be used for your own ritual, or simply burned like a torch, for a powerful glow. A lovely gift for a Jewish wedding. 3 wick wick-braided candle is also available. Mile-End candles are hand-dipped in pure beeswax (cotton wicks), and formed and twisted by my own hands. No pouring, no molds, no rolled sheets. Each is unique. These candles are made to burn. But please, never leave a burning candle unattended. After you burn a beeswax candle, you will never want to go back to paraffin. No more black smoke, just clean burning sweet gift of the bees.
