Hi @Alon Grod ,

If you want the change for you(Personalizing ) only ( format dd-MM-yyyy is available , dd-MMM-yyyy format not available OOB) , 

1. Navigate to All > Self-Service > My Profile.
2. In the Date format field, select an option.
3. Click Update.

If you want it globally (Global Change/ for all ,the date format will be changed),

 Update system property glide.sys.date_format value to dd-MMM-yyyy
