If you’re traveling to Athens in November it probably isn’t to gawk at the Acropolis, though the iconic temple will loom in the background when New York City’s mayor, Eric Adams, arrives at the Greek capital on Wednesday for two-day international parley on antisemitism. 

The 2022 Mayors Summit Against Antisemitism event is being co-hosted by the city and will be presided over by its young mayor, Kostas Bakoyannis. More than 25 mayors and government leaders from 53 countries will attend, but Mr. Adams’s participation will stand out as he is also expected to ink a memorandum to twin New York City with Athens.
