The Jewish sidelocks are called Peyot. They are grown by some (not all) Orthodox Jews, in a voluntarily strict interpretation of the command to not shave off our sideburns (Leviticus 19:27). Among those who do grow them long, some curl the sidelocks (these are the "braids" you mentioned), and some don't. Typically, many Hassidim (one branch of Orthodox Jews) have the custom of curling the sideburns, while the Yeshiva community grows them to about 3-4 inches and puts them behind the ears.
It is not something particularly reserved for Rabbis, but in a particular community all or most of the men will have peyot.
