Books

I am studying to become a pastor of my protestant faith. In a textbook I am currently assigned it says that worn-out manuscripts were ceremoniously destroyed, but it does not go into a detailed method. I was wondering what the method of destroying a worn-out Torah was and any significates to each step in the process including any ceremony for its replacement.

A friend who is cleaning out her deceased parents home has found a number of Hebrew religious texts. Neither she or her parents are Jewish. The books are in very bad condition and she would like to know how to dispose of them in a respectful manner. We would also like to know the background reason for the disposal method. Thank you for your help with this matter.
