In the movie FIDDLER ON THE ROOF. The wedding, between the milkman's oldest daughter and the tailor. Everybody is carrying this candle that is actually two candles twisted or braided together. I suppose this is to symbolize two people that are now one married couple.

Now if this is just something they dreamed up for the movie, well heck, they could make up a candle like that all kinds of strange ways.

 

But if this is actually Russian Jewish tradition - if they really did this in the 1900s - how did they twist the candles?

Well, if you need to twist one up you need some quality rolling papers and…What? Candles?…Uh, never mind. Gotta go!

Having seen those, I imagine you could take multiple really thin candles and weave them together to get multiple wicks.
