Although I can't speak fluently, I know enough about Japanese pronounciation to know your name would be something like "Maiku" (Mike; MIE-KOOH*) or "Maikaru" (Michael; MIE-KAH-ROOH*). "Maiku" would be more common than "Maikaru", but it wouldn't be unusual if you normally are called "Michael" rather than "Mike", but you seem to be called "Mike" a lot, on account of what name up entered for the post. So, it would be "Maiku", pronounced almost exactly like "Mike" in English, only Japanese people might have a little accent on the "k", making it sound almost like "Mike-oo". In katakana, however, it would be spelt "Maiku".
*The "u"/"ooh" part should be short and barely noticable.

I study Japanese, and there is no Japanese equivalent for English/Hebrew names. What they do is just write it out in their language (katakana), it would be said something like My-keh-ru.

Likewise. My name is bery difficult to say in Japanese, as i have lots of "v's".
I found that if you REALLY want a more authentic name than just using the katakana, what you sohuld do is this.
Find out your name-meaning. For example, my real name is Genevieve (hence the many v's). My name means, white wave, as in, the crest of a wave. Find the word in a japanese dictionary etc, and you've got yourself a real Japanese name (not to mention it will be easier for you japanese friends wen you visit). My name translates as "hatou" you see?
