I would say EY would be the nicest.

If you have priority pass, Al Dhabi lounge is nice.

Flying through YYZ to TLV. Landing in, and leaving from terminal 1.
How big of a hassle is it to get to the AA admiral lounge in terminal 3?
Does one need to go through security twice?
And if they do, will they let them through terminal 3 security with a BP for a terminal 1 flight?

Thank you.

1) pretty big hassle, you have to leave the terminal, take the train to T3.
2) yes
3) probably not (assuming the lounge is after security)

BTW: (I assume you're flying AC since you're leaving from T1) there is no need to run to T3, AC has an amazing Maple Leaf Lounge there.

+1...we went on our AC stopover in YYZ and got in w/ at time cancelled Plat altho my new priority pass or Plat would've worked just as well. Its a pretty nice self serve lounge if i recall correctly

The platinum card gives access to *A lounges?! Something doesn't sound right... Was it priority pass?

I guess you have the 'Canadian version 'Air Canada Platinum' card' which indeed gives access to 'Maple Leaf' lounges.

Any passes available on the forums for any lounge in Terminal 1?

You were indeed lucky, as per the website you posted;

http://www.amexcloud10.ca/BenefitsDetails.aspx
only "AeroplanPlus" AMEX card holders are eligible to access the maple leaf lounge. All other Platinum Card Holders can access the Plaza Lounge only.
