The custom of covering one's head depends on custom, a
minhag, that originally showed up during the Rabbinic Period from the
earliest starting point of the Common Era to 500 B.C. While there are no
references to this in the Torah and no unequivocal proclamations in
Jewish sources about covering the head, among certain Jews, this custom
has assumed the power of strict law.
