[Noto Serif Hebrew] lack of JSTF prevents good justification

Describe the bug In Hebrew, hyphenation is not allowed, only justification. Unlike in Arabic where one can use kashida, in Hebrew you have to use elongation. But Noto Serif Hebrew lacks a JSTF table.

To Reproduce type anything in Hebrew, justify

Expected behavior elongation

More discussion of Hebrew justification, including some disagreement on the statement that hyphenation is not allowed, and suggestion that elongated letters belong to some traditional classes of text, and may not be appropriate everywhere: https://typedrawers.com/discussion/2971/elongation-of-hebrew-letters-at-the-end-of-the-row

PS. The Hebrew in that screenshot is very poorly set, and elongation (which traditionally happened at the end of a line) would not solve the massive gap problem.

i actually elongated it to show how poorly it is, but on another look, i do note that that's Ezra SIL and not NSH, but the point still stands as i tried NSH first

What applications/layout engines support JSTF table?
