Are you allowed to read or eat next to the light of the Chanukah candles? 🕎📚🍴

What are you allowed to do next  to the light of the Chanukah   candles? Haneirot Hallalu Kodesh Heim- We want  the light of the menorah to tell the story of the   miracle of Chanukah and not be used for anything  else. And therefore, if the lights in your home   are on, you're allowed to do anything because  you're really using the lights in your home.   However, if the only light in the room comes from  the Chanukah candles, even if there is a shamash,   we do not use it for anything that requires light.  So, we don't read next to the candles. We do not   eat next to the candles. You should sit next to  the candles and enjoy the glow of the light and   remember the miracle. The shamash is lit so that  if somebody accidentally benefited from the light,   it wouldn't be a disgrace to the Chanukah candles.  And that's because the shamash is not actually one   of the candles of the menorah, its light is  permitted. And therefore, it's possible if   you benefited from the light of the menorah,  you only needed the light from the shamash.
