From E.T. to E.R., Steven Spielberg’s next project will take him to Jerusalem’s Shaare Zedek Hospital.

In a new television series to premiere in 2011 on the Sundance Channel, Steven Spielberg, alongside Phil Rosenthal, most notable for his work on “Everybody Loves Raymond,” will be producing a reality show focused on a group of American doctors placed at the renowned multicultural hospital.

In a place where Arabs and Israelis, Christians, Muslims and Jews are all working in a high pressure environment, ethnicity and religion get checked at the door. Nonetheless, it will be interesting to see how the show plays around with such interesting and powerful subtexts.
