• This figure may be somewhat misleading, as in many religious educational institutions there are no formally paid employees – the teachers are themselves students in Yeshivas (Torah learning institutions) and receive scholarships in return for their work, not salaries. This status exempts them from army service. Consequently these organizations augment the group of employment-free organizations in our data, and probably account for most of the publicly funded organizations in that group

• While his analysis pertains to the 1980s and since then, a major reform has taken place under the leadership of the Chancellor of the Bank of Israel in Israel's economy, laying the foundations for its integration in the world economic system. The same has not happened vis-a-vis the Third Sector (Aharoni,1991)

• Although, with the decline in the centrality of political parties and other such sectorial structures (Histadrut) their service provision organs had to change their orientation. They have become “ideology-free” service providers, competing with each other and with the business sector over clients, using quality of service, not ideology as their major tool
